    Well, the plate has been chosen, stamped and received. Went with something a little more low key and stealth:

    :lol: :lol:

    No, no sex.

    M5's have a lot of settings controlled by the iDrive. Most importantly the engine and the transmission. The engine has 3 modes. 400 hp (P400), 500 hp (p500) and 500 hp sport mode (P500S) which also remaps the throttle response and sensitivity. The transmission has 6 modes which deal how aggressively it shifts in manual mode and at what rpm in automatic mode. Normally only the first five settings are available. To make the 6th setting available you have to be in the P500S engine mode AND you have to turn off the nanny devices by disabling the DSC. Once that's done the transmission setting 6 becomes available as well as the launch control.

    Basically P500S6 is the fastest and most visceral mode you can set the M5 too. This is also where you need to keep your hands on the wheel and pay attention as things get very quick. I have all that plus the dynamic dampening set to stiffest mode and some adjustments for the seats programmed into the "M" button on the steering wheel.

    I figured only M5/M6 crowd and those in the know will really know what that means, thus keeping it a little more stealth and less "in your face".

    :lol: I guess. I am hoping that and the vet thing will keep the close ones with CHP a little less so.
