Chance to run against an M5

Royal Purple’s ‘The Forum Wars’ is giving real members of real online car communities the opportunity to go head to head with rival counterparts in the ultimate racing challenge. Each battle will be broadcast on SPEED and all over the web.

Forum vs. Forum. M5 vs. E63. Owner vs. Owner.
Official drag race. Slalom. Timed hot lap. Three events. One winner.
If you have the car, experience on the track, and the eggs to bring it in front of a huge TV/Web audience then Royal Purple’s ‘The Forum Wars’ WANTS YOU!

If you….
- Own a (recent model) E63 (street legal, DOT approved tires, current registration and insurance)
- Have track experience
- Live in L.A or surrounding counties – or willing to drive
- Come fully trash talk equipped and ready to be on camera

Royal Purple’s ‘The Forum Wars’ wants to hear from you.

Email theforumwars@gmail.com, briefly stating why it should be you representing your community and the mighty E63. Please also include details of your location, driving experience and a picture of your car.

This is a “run what you brung” competition. No tire changes. No trackside tuning.

Too bad this wasn't up in the bay area at Thunderhill! Anyone have or know someone with an M5 in the bay area that wants to run sometime?

This isn't for stock vehicles? Whats the point of comparing modified vehicles?

The aim is for as close to stock as one can get, but all comers are welcome to e-mail their interest.

I know the M5 that's going to be in it, but apparently no one with an E63 wants to play.

Interesting, but I think we know the results already. The E63's Airmatic will hamstring it anywhere but in a straight line. Despite suspension geometry changes, it's still a suspension for lowriders.

Drag Race- E63
Slalom- M5
Track- M5 by a wider margin.
