5th GEAR tests the M5

Vicki went pantyless on this one....you can see the tops of her stockings through the whole test But she didn't get the thrashing she was looking for....

Looking forward to their test of the All Mighty German (AMG) E/CLS-63's

Fifth Gear presenter Vicki Butler-Henderson has tested the 2012 BMW M5 F10. She took the most powerful BMW M5 ever made to the racing circuit in Pau and into the Pyrenees mountain range in southwestern France. Will Vicki be thrilled by the M5? Check out the video for her review and verdict.

Just a small reminder, the 2012 BMW M5 is powered by a 4.4 liter biturbo V8 with an output of 560 horsepower and 680Nm (502lb-ft) of torque. This enables the high-performance saloon to accelerate from 0-100km/h (62mph) in just 4.4 seconds. The electronically limited top speed is 250km/h (155mph), however it can be 305km/h (190mph) with the optional M-Drivers package.

I'm sorry, but the new M5 looks terrible! The front seats look like they came out of an RV and the body lines just look outdated... Not meant to offend and M5 fans but come on, really?

It's going to be interesting when these are both on the road. Some buddies in Europe have confirmed the M5's are also underrated from the factory.

Please God, hurry up and let drifting become old school like Corinthian leather so we can stop seeing entire wasted videos of sideways cars that provide zero information.

Hows does it feel compared to the E60? The old M3? Nope, just some broad laughing that it can drift and come around on her
