The E39 M5 Video Guide Blog

Just before fall turned to winter, the core group of BMW M5 owners got together for a meet up and lunch here in Kelowna, BC.  It was a fun get together made up of all years E39 M5 and one E34 M5.  Actually – this was the first time that I’d had a chance to see an E34 M5 up close and I must say how much I really liked the car.  You can see my white E39 M5 second from right in the crummy cell phone pic I snapped below.

Thanks to Barrie Clift for making the arrangements to contact the other owners.  The idea was that we’d get together and talk about our cars – it was a great idea.  I came away learning yet again how much there is to know about these amazing cars.  All in there were five of us who showed up and all the M5′s in the parking lot sure turned some heads!

After talking for about 30 minutes we went into the Cactus Club for lunch and talked some more.  One of the owners made a comment which I’ll have to look into further and it was that the E39 M5 is primarily a salesman’s car.  Do you agree?

Anyway, We’re hoping to meet again in the spring and see if we can’t find a few more M5 owners. I’ll be sure to take more and better pictures next time!  In fact I’ve noticed a dark gray X5 M in town and I’ll have to see if that person wants to join us so we can learn about that incredible machine!

If you haven’t done so already – make a point of getting out there to meet other local M5 owners in your area – it’s a great way to meet some really interesting people who could expand your social network!
