Smile M5/M6 owners in LA?

Hey guys,

New member here! I've actually been lurking quite a long time, but felt compelled to join so I can follow new M3/M4 developments. I'm a fellow chronic car enthusiast and a full time student! I have a request that is quite unbecoming of me to ask. Background story is that my dad has dreamed of the M5 for the longest time. Since the beginning of the E60 generation, he can't seem to stop talking about a car that is constantly eluding his ownership (due to financial constraints). The F10 M5 has only made him lust after an M5 even more, and I can only show him so many youtube vids and M5post pics to satisfy him lol Clearly he wants more. I know I am probably talking to a limited audience seeing that many people on this forum have jobs, other responsibilities etc, but I just want to reach out to any kind soul willing to take my dad for a brief ride around the block in their M5/M6. My father has never really been in a fast car (Accord V6 sure as hell doesn't count) and and I'm sure a beast like the M5 can give him an authentic ///M smile. To anyone local, we'll be at Cars and Coffee Irvine this weekend, I'd be more than happy to meet in the area. If you're somewhere else, I'd be willing to drive to you if time permits on both our ends! Let me buy you a sandwich, a tank of gas, or whatever works for your generosity. I'm aware this post reeks of desperation, but I just want my dad to feel the wrath of M I'm glad to be apart of such a large community, look forward to posting around here regularly!

-Randy

I don't blame you. I was actually hesitant to post for this very reason.

Or....maybe roll in to a dealer and ask for a test drive? This way he can get the full experience. This may just put him over the edge to get one too Also maybe ask to drive the M5 and M6 back to back as well. Hope he gets to experience the wrath soon and please record his experience .

We actually have done this last year! But the car wasn't broken in, and the salesman took it real easy. He basically took us for a cruise around the block, revved it and said "That's how an M5 is driven" lol

Late post, but felt the need to update. I don't think I could thank @pochesq and his brother enough for Saturday. They are among the most friendly people I've come across. My father and I were already enjoying the festivities at Accessory Fest at Pacific BMW, didn't think the day could get any better. Then pochesq texts me that we should go for a ride To say that was the fastest car I've ever been in is not an exaggeration, but apparently we were just taking it easy My dad has never been more enthusiastic than he has about the M5..He's got the itch harder than ever! He never knew how immensely powerful the M5 was, now it's a bit of a concern to him haha. Jose, your car is just utterly badass, I'm in your debt man. My dad hasn't been that happy in a long time. Give me a ring, I'll still buy you that tank of gas you refused

Randy: It was my pleasure. Definitely feels good to help you and your father get a small taste of the Beast! If the Glendale police and CHP weren't so vigilant, we would have went from 120 to 150 mph in a heartbeat!

Still blows my mind how we were cruising then moments later we were doing twice the speed limit..With 4 people in the car!! That engine is a freak of nature.

Thanks man! Hopefully I'm fortunate enough to have an M of my own in the future. Definitely excited. Never realized how monstrous the new Ms were.
