1,993 Horsepower. 5 Supercars. 1 Day.

That was the tag line on my invitation to "M Tour Canada 2006"

This tour has been moving across the country, and includes the M3, M5, M6, M Roadster, and the new M Coupe. Not very often you see all 5 in one place - not even at the auto shows!

It was tonight, and I brought the camera along to take a few snaps for your viewing enjoyment!

I have always been a big fan of the 5 series (since I drive one) and the M5 has always been my ultimate car. Well, I didn't take many pictures of it, and none of the M3......

Here is the M5......trying to be little creative........



And the business end of this car (5litre, 507 bhp, V10 ):





Hard to believe the M3 and M5 were a bit pedestrian in this collection, but they certainly did not stand out as the others did.

Here is the M Roadster......



I like the Z4 a lot, and always wanted something with a bit more punch than the normal 3 litre version offers. This has it, with 330 bhp!

The M Coupe was a little less....errr....ugly than the last version. I was never a fan of the last one in terms of looks, but apparently it handled very, very well.

This one is nicer:





The car that grabbed me the most was the M6. It was actually the first car we went to, and I was in love.

The sales guy saw us with the camera, and asked if we wanted our picture taken in the car. Kind of cheesy, but we did it anyway:



The picture may serve as motivation to gather the $130K (Canadian) this thing costs......okay, maybe not.

Inside the trim was carbon fiber....looks way better in real life than the picture:



Instrument cluster....330 km top speed indicated, and red line at over 8,000 rev./min.



This is the simple looking button that switches the car's output from 400 bhp to 500 bhp:



This car goes from 0-100 km/hr in 4.6 seconds. Amazing stuff!

Caught my good friend and mechanic (Paul) taking some snaps of his own. He has kept a good number of our cars in top shape over the years, including everything from Pontiacs to Jaguar, to of course, four of our BMW's.



It was a great night, and in addition to some food and drink, we saw some nice cars.

Hope you enjoyed this, and thanks for reading.
