I recently rode in a friend's 2001 M5. It was black with an unusual leather interior. It sort of had the coloring and texture of a baseball glove. A bit more orange than most of the palomino or tan leathers that I have ever seen. Do any of you know what the name of this leather might be? |

Just got a copy. Great honest review. Very thorough as they drove these 4 beasts over many surfaces and terrains. Man! They surely did not refrain from trashing the Jag and to a lesser degree the Audi and even the Benz, which was the most expensive car in the group. Now I am thinking M5 for 9/03. I wonder if it will still be available by then. Better relearn how to do the stick shift, fast. Last time I use that was over 20 years ago with an Accord. Paul |

| ...a German friend of mine who moved to CA a year ago got a stickshift, and he regrets it in CA traffic... Lots of fun 20% of the time, but sometimes the auto is more convenient... I always had stickshifts while living in Europe, but here in the US I have entirely switched to autos (except on the motorcycle, of course)... | |

It had always been interesting to me in my travels that many taxi drivers still uses manual boxes in heavy traffic places like Hong Kong, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Rome, and even Johannesburg. It's almost like these older drivers are used to the stick. Perhaps it's a relationship with their cars, or simply more things to keep them awake. I will always remember driving from New York to Toronto one July 4th weekend with a newly broken right hand in a cast and driving a manual Honda through a 2 hours traffic jam through downtown NYC traffic, then 7 hours to Canada. Things we all do right out of college. Now, driving a manual from time to time makes me wonder why. Paul |
