Wes, Nespresso has the Cuban pods again - or NOS? - but nonetheless, call they directly (my wife called last week) and we just got a batch!

I just checked the website and they have the Cuban pods there too! I was just at the mall this weekend, which has a Nespresso store and on my way out, I was thinking of how I should have stopped in. Had I known that the Cuban pods were back, I would have definitely stopped in. Damn!

Well, I've really been enjoying the M5 (I've named her Barbara). Every time I look at her or get behind the wheel, I just can't help but smile. Driving is a real pleasure and I love the old-school nature of the S85. This is really one of the finest cars BMW has ever made.

Here are some pictures of Barbara that I took today.

A little flashback for you Wes. (oops, video not posting)

Don’t know how I missed your thread.

Congrats again and see you next week!

Beautiful pics...

How's the oil consumption been on the M5? You had to add any?

Thanks! I changed the motor oil (as well as all other fluids) shortly after buying the car. Since then, I've put about 500 miles on it and haven't had to add any oil. I've been monitoring the oil level since my oil change and there has been no change.

Thanks Yannis! I think the E39 is the best M5 ever. It has the best styling and the S62 is no slouch, even 20 years later.

Great name, Wes.

My R is named Norah (thanks, DM), and my GL is named Brunhilda.

The GTI ‘was’ named Mia. Hope she finds a good home.

And... haha, my ex-M3 (the e90) was called Betsy.

PS, I just got some PIAA Si-Tech wipers, love them!! Best wipers bar none. Not that you’ll really need them down south.
