Congrats on the x5m. I have an x6m on order in white for the wifey. Have I seen you on NAGTROC? Those look like the pictures from the TOP GEAR photo shoot
I agree with you on the F430 brakes. I drove a stock, non-carbon ceramic at williow springs. Faded within 2 laps. You really need to go with the carbon ceramic. ZR1 had the best brakes out of any car I have owned.
