There were some problems finding the way to Nowack, since we didn't have any GPS navigation in either the M3 or M5. When calling our friends who already where at Nowack, there where problems giving directions, because all of the other M5s had GPS navigation in their M5s and didn't exactly read alot on the map, only listening to directions. Life is unfair... Anyway we arrived at Nowack Auto+Sport at about three o'clock. There we met up with the others who already had a test drive with the Nowack M5.
 
Here we are in front of Nowack's office. Our cars to the left and one Oxfordgreen BMW M5 that belonged to one of our Swedish friends.
