July 12-15th at Spokane County is the next time I'm racing. After that I'm hoping for the Ridge on the 18th of August. The car will also be at 5erWest on July 23rd

Probably not lol. I do ok to live on but racing is a whole other expense of its own. And it becomes your ever ongoing project. I love it though.

Correct. Here is a link to my Group 4 race where I drive off turn 7 into the grass. Completely missed the braking point and turn in :yawn:

IMO the M5 is not made to be a fat touring highway car. You did right by her props man.

Thanks dude. Been in an E36 M3 Racecar and my car, I can for sure feel the extra weight and especially length of the M5 but it's very manageable, just have to be quick to get the back end in check sometimes.

Also the suspension from factory is a notch about the E36 in some aspects. It has true rear coilovers, front and rear subframes are tubed, thick factory front swaybar, etc.

If uve got the 8" can u run the irs 8.8 out of the 4x4 explorers?

Are you running stock exhaust as well? There is probably a decent amount of weight to be lost there.

The only gripe I have with my 540 is the steering is slightly less precise than the E30 or E36.

The exhaust isn't even close to factory, just has 2 decent mufflers at the back, the rest is straight flow through with an x pipe.
