Some AKA Rally - e39 - Summer photos 2008

I do AKA Rally every summer (absolute blast I might ad) and was searching through some stuff and came back across all the photos from this year. I know I haven't posted them here so I figured some of you might be interested in seeing them. I'll keep it to strictly e39 content to keep this on topic.


Chris' Avus M5 with LM's.


PT's Imola M5 with my carbon black in the background.


PT, Beef's Jet black car, and I all pulled over by an undercover shelby.


Getting Sonic with Alicia's 996, Robbie's turbo 350z, and Nick & Som in the e36 M.


Somewhere on the way to Vegas just out of Utah with Chris' e39 and Dave's modded Cayenne Turbo.







Pulled over again.


PT pulled up into this intersection and I decided it was a good time to slide around him, so 3 or 4 rotations around it was time to re-enter the highway, that's me in the back of the frame digging 3rd gear out of there.


PT and Beef at an old burnout out suspension bridge on MOAB.


Very nice!


In a clearly outmatched battle, we did a 3 lap race. 3 of us (driver of the GTR and M Coupe and myself) have either comp licenses or a metric *!*@ ton of track time, and the Z06 driver is fairly new. We lined up M Coupe, M5, GTR, Z06. The GTR was past me before even half a lap was over.



At which point I decided to enjoy myself (I do some amateur drifting in Canada and brought spare tires with me).





There are a TON more, but I tried to keep it strictly e39 related for the sake of the forum.

And a teaser for the DVD, with some e39 content.

what do you mean?

Is it free to do that, or illegal, or what?
a set speed limit on there?

Did it do anything to your car. Looks like a lot of crud built up on your car

This car has been widely praised in all aspects; many say it is the best BMW in the world. Consumer Reports gave the 2001 530i its highest car rating ever. The diesel engines available in the European models provide great torque and smoothness with better economy. The M5 has been called "the ultimate in discreet speed" with 369 lb·ft (500 N·m) of torque and a 0–60 mph time of 5.2 s. The only downside was its smallish cabin and trunk space of 11.1 ft³ (314 L)
The very first E39 BMW 5 Series rolled off the assembly line on June 18, 1996.

We had a 3 mile prepped course from the guys who run Speed Week @ Bonneville. We were being clocked at the 2 mile point. IIRC The top speed was 189mph from a turbo 350z vert.

Caragraphics, as stated by someone else.

I'm trying to get the video of me chasing down the modded 360 modena on the track for you guys. (We were at MPH Hastings fyi).

They are open, but participation is limited to 25 or 30 cars IIRC.

Also, my M5 in the Cedar Rapids Gazette. (attached, not my real name lol)

The entire hotel staff was outside cheering us on and encourage the tire smoke. Justin's Ducati even got moved into the lobby while he was in bed as a practical joke
