Drove the new triple turbo X5 today

Was invited to a BMW M day at brands day

Got to hoon around the circuit in all of their m cars including race prepped M3 and also got a hot lap with Andy Prilaux

Drove all the usual suspects including a timed slalom with new M135i

They also had new X50d. Have to say I was quite impressed withthe effortless speed it offered and it didn't feel as bad on track as you would think

It was a good day, have one in a couple of weeks at millbrook for the RS4 launch

Hugely jealous........you gotta teach us mere mortals how you get invited to all these things

That normally has the opposite effect!

That sounds like a great day. Nice one.
So what was your favourite from the M stables?

Oh gawd, how did you get a passport & visa to get into this neck of the woods?! You're only a few miles from me. Need to camouflage everything now.....

Seriously, I hope you get to play in Lane 5 in the 'bowl'. 155mph+ is proper 'hooning'.. :drive:

You'll only be allowed in if you bring your paint roller and brushes - there's decorating to be done ....

Missed this one as I was away working (some of us do that ...).

Don't tell me you still have not finished the painting?
