2006 BMW M5 Road Test

In a cruel twist of faith, irony and whatever you want to call it, my all-to-brief time with the M5 was plagued with snow and rain of the most unpleasant kind. You see, these special Supercars are only on loan to journalists for 3 days at a time. The first night, it snowed. The M5 tester's mammoth performance tires had seen better days so I dared not take the car out for a literal spin. As I was preparing for two long back-to-back trips out of town in the following weeks, I had no other choice to go shopping and do groceries on the mostly sunny Saturday. On Sunday, I went pumpkin-picking with friends and, even though it rained, I still got to punch it in the morning and in the evening.
