Sorry to hear what happened, but why was the owner of the shop taking your car out for a test drive, is he also a mechanic?

that is why I will never trust someone to handle an expensive car.
btw, I was told by my bro that a guy took his E34 M5 to a tune shop, and 5 months later he got it back with a s#@t load of miles...turns out the shop owner used it as a personal vehicle for the duration of the 5 months

Are you sure it wasn't an E39 M5? I read about an incident just like this with the owner of RMS in SoCal, but it was with an E39.

Ben,
Like you said, there was no written agreement and thankfully no damage to the car. Take it as a lesson and move on.
Personally, outside of a couple of my good friends on this board, whom I trust more with my car than I do myself, I wouldn't let anybody drive my car.

Ben... since you cannot prove liability you should pay the bastard back and name names when you are comfortable...
How did he respond when you informed him how pissed you were?
