I don't know if there's an international day of BMWs, although my intuition tells me there is such... but I'm making one today. Took this 5 series beauty of a good friend of mine for a spin, and though it would make a good model for some shitty smartphone photography post of mine...
What do you think, looks neat?
For the car geeks out there a bit of specs: 3.0 diesel bi turbo engine with 300 HP stock, engine and gearbox remapped putting out 370 HP and about 800 NM torque, hence it's quite a family monster on the street. M Performance Pack for Inner and Outer looks and suspension and drive train as well. We can call it a tamed M5.
As you can see it's a station wagon and quite a naughty one... It took my friend and his two dogs from Sweden to Romania quite well though, in about 24 hours, and he even had a bit of racing against a Porsche on the German Autobahn. I don't know if he could call himself a winner but he told me the car done pretty well.
I tested it for a while as well, and it drives... Never owned a true sports car but for a station wagon, sporting 370 HP, it pulls like hell. From 40 to 140 km/h it gets like in a blink of an eye. The dogs didn't liked the ride too much though, as I was told, and the Labrador was quite tired as I could see for myself. Now they're breathing some Romanian fresh air :) and fooling around on Romanian ground.
Anyway, hope you like my amateur black and whites of the day, and hope you have a great day. Time to get some lunch now and see what's up for afternoon. See you to the next one ;)
Thanks for attention,
Adrian
