At an undisclosed dealership last night, my friend has a friend that just 
took a 2000 M5 on trade.  Since the dealer owner didn't care if they took the 
car out for a ride...  

Now my friend owns a NSX, WRX and a Mugen prepared Integra.  He also knows 
how to wring the most out of my cars too.  He said it was the highlight of 
his week and probably the best car he has ever driven.  No matter where he 
pointed the car, it went.  Stupid things that would have put the NSX into a 
spin, the M5 handled with aplomb.  He was even scared to find out what the 
limits were where they were driving.  What surprised him even more was how 
"normal" the car rode - not harsh considering the level of handling.  

With the oil burning issue mentioned above, I wonder why the previous owner 
traded it in?

He said he will call me soon.  Someone is supposedly trading in some kind of 
Ferrari...
