I have no personal experience with the M5 in particular.
But, I know what you mean....
Some cars are just so smooooooth, the speed can be decieving.

lol try race it at high speed then you will see how fast those 550i are at top speed

Good man. I knew I could count on you.
I feel the same. That it's not worth the risk.... The place for that kind of thing is in a controlled environment (track). .

Thanks Collin =)
That's why I am looking forward to more track fun for next summer...

Anyhow, I have decided that I will be the white mice and give the Braille 15lbs all season battery a shot. Will report back once I recieve it and have it installed!
