On the other hand, the new M3 may prove to be more fun with a more sophisticated dual clutch transmission, well it looks better than the 4/5/6/7 anyway. Good thing BMW put a stop to this nonsense.
It's funny which magazine put '3 series spared!' on its cover?!

I do own both cars M5 and E55.. the rolling start from 80-270 KM/H the E55 cant keep keep up with M5.. Flooring at the same time the M5 passes the E55 and keeps going and going 4-5 car lengths what the difference was.. and u feel it keep going on.. the gap does not get narrower
And from standstill i was first not surprised by the m5 preformance.. I found that the contis SC2 grip is not very good. i need to change them when the PS2 Mch is going to be ready..
My conclusion that the M5 is much faster than the E55 its really keep it behind not talking about 1 car length, by maybe 4-5 cars length..
The M5 is just very very fast car..
Thanks
