I have found this site from Greg(a very nice M5 owner)
He is very experienced on how to drive a manual correctly and efficently.

He has serise of Videos in his website about how to drive a stick.
It is very helpful. it even show you how to do the old time double clutch.
It is not only for freshman, it also has good tips for performance drivers.
It even has the race track section.

Enjoy!
Greg's M5 School

Anything for that?? r u sure??
Coke transporter between CA and Mexico??
Just kidding!!
If you really want one here are the options:
Go to Germany, you can buy a M3 with a loaded MINI price!!!
Find someone station in Germany, they get better price to buy car in there and bring it to USA(heard from a EX-Military)
Work as a trainee with almost no pay in the BMW center in Munich Germany. I have been there and seen some of those people.
or
or
work 3 to 5 jobs at the same time and try not to get fired(since you pretty much have no time to sleep)

ohhhhhh, the best and the easiest way(i almost forgot). Win the Lottory!!!!!!
Good luck from me(usually dont work)

Some of the options are true

yes i would transport coke for a M

dont know anyone in the military

would love to work at the munich germany plant u suggested, but it will be hard to get papers and work permits..and brown people are not very prevalant in germany

i think i will stick to my plan, and just buy one after i graduate, since i already go the job lined up :smile:

and people who wait to win lottery to buy stuff, usually never get them

Amen, I'd KILL for any generation M5, especially the new E60 yuuuuummmmm V10.

Thanks for the link Chris, I've been a bit frightened about not really learning, but getting a lot of daily practice, on my new cooper. Hopefully, that will help prepare me.

I have a cousin thats in the air force and he was stationed in germany, he brought back a really nice 3 series that he got cheap! He got it in a custom color that the 3 series doesnt come in here. Hes planning on importing an M3.

I have another cousin thats in Japan thats planning on importing a nissan skyline gt-r, its gonna be a pain to bring here but well worth it!

ohhh
you have a lot of Rich Cousin!!

I wish i have a cousin like that, all i need is to import from him to me!

I have been to Germany several times when i was in school in Switzerland. It is a lot of cheaper to buy BMW there(of course it is a german car)!!

I was not rich enough to buy or drive a car, when i was there!! too bad, but now i have my MINI.
M3 going next.
