Apologies if this is a repost, but there is a link to it on Pistonheads and I thought it was mightily impressive (although some might say stupid). This guy has driven across the states in 32hrs in an tricked out m5! :driving: :worshipbmw:

Great in depth article. I can only dream of being so wealthy and so prepared to replicate this! Hero!!!
 
Interesting read... Of course, I simply can't understand the desire to drive so quickly myself :roll:
 
Impressive stats, though would have thought all those stickers would have made the motor stick out like a sore thumb...
 
There is an excellent book that details the trip...

The amount of gear they had is impressive, although I would have thought it would have made it a bit confusing, with to much information coming in!
 
I like the way one of them asks if he should turn the equipment off if a police officer is going to pull them over....errr not sure but I reckon the policeman might (just might) notice the various electrical items in the cabin. Doubt it would matter if it was on or not!
