i know that some people hate the idea of it... but for me, the more electronic guardian angels i have to keep me from being... well... me, the happier i am. and every abs system seems to be defeatable so i'm not sure why some people are still against it.
Leave it to the Germans to shroud everything cool and pure in the world under a dense cloud of gizmo's.
Here's a picture of the new M5 dashboard. ;)

I'm right there with you. ABS is a very useful safety tool (both to save me from myself & from other drivers) and you can always just flip a switch and turn it off.

if you believe don canet from cycle world ... it took him several tries to beat the
stopping distance of an early version of ABS (honda i think). given that on my
best day, he could leave me standing, i'm gonna say bring on the electronic aids.
I see the point and respect the option but for me I'll pass on ABS. I want the option of NOT being charged to have it on there even though it can be turned off. Too many nanny's now.
