Tim's supercharged e39 m5 - a photo on Flickriver

            Meet Tim. Well...not the car, the car's owner. The car would be popularly known as "M CINCO" to most as Tim has grown pretty popular in the e39 m5 community. Tim was the inventor of Timmayfest, a national e39 m5 car meet lasting over 3 days in his hometown of Columbus Ohio. M5's from all over the country would come to hang out, talk shop, and just have a good time together. With a SLEW of M5's together, it's hard NOT to have a good time!

Tim himself is a wrencher. He has helped me personally countless time and is just a standup guy. When I purchased my m5, it was about the time to change the clutch. So Tim (again, being a standup guy, and loves wrenching) offered to facilitate the install and let us install the clutch in his garage. NOW LET ME BE CLEAR..."offered to facilitate" actually turned into him doing 90% of the work as "someone" (ahem) had a nasty hangover from his VP taking the night out before and may or may not have had to pull over on the way to Columbus to yack on the side of 71. aah yes, good times. 

Besides Tim being able to tackle job from under the hood to ripping the entire interior out, he's actually a pretty good dude and hopefully we can hang out a bit more as he's about 2 hours away. ::bromance::. 

Enough about Tim, let's hear about his M5!
