This guys first run DIALED in at 12.80 expecting to run that like the first tracked M5. I am sure he was shocked when HE ran low 12's. Then on his next pass, he "re dialed" to 12.30, this guys has a family and prob not a true racer so I doubt he let off at the end! He was there to test times of the new family cruiser, not to win a trophy.

This guy ran 12.22's @ 118

As stated before, that track is not good at ALL! The 1/8th mile traps are usualy broken. Derik knows that track as well, so he says on the M5board. It is a true 2 slips, but it's no 11's!

I would say with the first M5 time slip in the high 12's, that beat Derik's time in his M5, then 2 more slips in the low 12's due to lower temps in FL and less humidity. I would say, for some reason, Deriks got a bit slower car, or it was just hot as a normal FL day. It could be that Derik also ran his car hard a bit early, just a thought, not flaming ya Derik, you know I am ok. 1/4 burst don't hurt as much as tracking it at the circuit. Keeping your car in high RPM's is a no..no until 3,000 say the manual. .5 tenth is NOTHING when compaired to hot and humid to cool and dry. Wait until March from the Northern M5 to run low numbers as well. No big deal, we all knew the car is nice. There are many nice fast cars besides the E55. Shifting at 7,000 rpm on Manual compaird to "D5" could also get it quicker, ya never know till these guys play and try out different settings and things. There are 6 shift speeds for Standard, and 5 for Auto, also launching in the softest transfers weight to the rear, after 2nd gear is done, going to hardest setting would shave a bit off as well making the car more rigid..Yea, it's a lot to do but, could be learned. We will have to see how they are figuring this car out in the next couple of months.

Lies!

:p LOL..E55 is the ONLY CAR! or should I say only 4 door that is in the 11's stock........aaaaahhhh.....so far! I don't see the M5 going into the 11's guys. I could be wrong and I do like the M5, BUT....facts are facts, we shall see.

anyone else notice that the two timeslips posted have folds in the paper in the same exact places. look directly to the right of the ET on both slips. looks like a photoshop job to me. could M5 owners be getting this desperate to make a good showing?

egxpimp

i wish you were lying ! but i zoom in and i can tell it was change--trust me i have done it before ! all i have to say is this person is good ! -_-

vraa

One of the timeslips is altered / photoshoped. There are way too many similarities for them to be real different slips that weren't doctored.

Beowulf

Also note that the car number changed from 7010 to 1010. You're assigned a number at tech and it stays that way all day - I've never ever seen it change. Good call, Ricky This oughta add a little fuel to the fire! Where's Fikse? He oughta pull that time from the database.

WayneE

Good call. I went back and looked at some of my timeslips from my C5 and found the following:





So if you compare that to his timeslip, I ran a 9.55 1000' time and an 11.30 1/4, where he ran a 9.92 1000' and a 12.32. Looking at all the #s on his slip, it just doesn't add up... that and the creases in the paper, makes it suspect.

Rock

The first slip that this guy submitted was not an M5. At a 101mph 1/8 mile time that car had the potential to trap @130+. This is a run where I trapped @ 122.54. Look at my 1/8 mile time (94.1mph). Confused and amused.

Fikse

heh, crazy.... looking into this now..... I think both slips were messed with....

E552006

Exactly
Thanks to the person who found the original #'s you posted, I though I was going Nukin Futz.

WayneE

True, here are some other passes from my C5. I ran 101+ in the 1/8 on both of these passes...

This detective work is making me thirsty. Good job you guys.

Fikse

definitely fake:

What's interesting is that a 12.2 @ 118 is where I suspected the M5 would wind up long before it hit our shores. But with a 2.2+ 60' time, something just doesn't seem right. Especially after what we have been reading from owners. If this really is a photoshop job, this is just sad.

zumbalak

He ran 12.22 in e55, not the m5

As he stated:
"For reference: in E55 Renntech ECU and Pulley,same strip of I-94,temp 35F vs 17F today,also at 5 am and using the same G-Timer,
had 0-30 in 1.78s
0-100 in 9.12 s
1/4mile in 12.22s at 118 mph"

zumbalak

WOW.

They are exactly the same pictures, every bit of them are the same, the paper folds, edges etc.

The numbers have been altered.

How desperate a person can get to put some fake numbers about m5 out there? We know there are people with fake races of m3, m5, m6 but this is like over the top.

Belmondo

OK, time for Rock to rename this thread into :

"This M5 1/4time looks FAKE "

Rock

Done!!

Belmondo

Friends, lets pause for a second and agknowlage this persons POST.
If it were not for him you would still be seriously disscussing FAKE slip.

enzom

Let's drink to him.

Belmondo

Done! A glass of vino!
If you ever choose to go to the track and bring back REAL M5 slip we'll drink to you too!

Vic55
