 video, you won't be surprised if I told you that I've seen it already.Rumour has it the new F11 M5 won't be blocked at 250 km/h.  Have you seen this? http://www.bmwblog.com/2011/04/27/evo-n ... m5-on-ice/ or the full version: http://www.bmwblog.com/2011/03/29/30-mi ... w-footage/ A bit long but so gratifying. Very interesting explanations given by the test driver.@Jackson How 'bout this symphony?

Awesome car, but I would rather have a reliable Lexus. My buddy has a 06 750 ,and its got more electrical problems than the nuclear reactors in Japan.. I know this site loves Bmw's but I am not a fan of having my car serviced for every little thing, esp when you pay so much for it. I will take the m5 all day up until the warranty runs out  ... I couldn't imagine driving something with that much power, i'd end up wrecking it.

Is that the final body-styling (not the colours, the bumper shape, etc)?  If so, it looks a little bland to be honest. Shame if it is, because it's no doubt going to be awesome......... as all the M series cars are.

And it is broken from time to time. Porsche, Alpina and some AMG models, to name a few, do not abide by it. It is tolerated as far as it concerns a few models. BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz came to an agreement to electronically limit their cars up to 250 km/h in order to avoid a general speed limit ban like it exists everywhere else in the world. |

Hmmmm, I always like the idea of M's cars styling to be "discrete" - no Max Power magazine style ironing-boards bolted on the boot-lid, etc - but the styling on this latest M5 really does look too much like the standard 5 to me. Don't get me wrong, I really like the shape of the new 5, but to me the M model should always be very distinct and sporty in it's own right. Maybe it'll look better in the flesh once those bumpers are coloured to match the bodywork. |

It does have some bigger air intakes but they are not very "visible" because of the anti-spy camouflage. http://www.bmwblog.com/wp-content/uploa ... -12111.jpg They are indeed larger than on the outgoing E60 model which means that: bigger intakes = better cooling = more powerful engine: http://www.bmwblog.com/wp-content/uploa ... f10-m5.jpg |
