Local BMW club here in Western Pa. did a fall leaves day trip. Rained almost the entire time thru some of the best windies thru southern Pa. and West Virginia. Actually in the wet the M5 is effortless to drive in M1 setting. Only problem is 3 different occasions all the electronic nannies got shut down due to fall leaves coating the front of the car and blocking the sensors. Each stop i would reclean and back to normal but these M's love to suck leaves into the area behind the grill and all over the front sensor. Had to vacuum up about 5 lbs of wet leaves but still a great trip.
