Guy has 22 posts, how about posting up a pic of you CLS first before getting everyone going again picking on the little poor M5. Good timing though as a Beemer was playing through traffic on the 210 today well behind me, then when he got on the side of me, I showed interest-he did NOTHING. Guess he visits the M5 boards often.

The Lotus.

What the hell are you driving now? A 330 BMW?!?

They're both fast enough.

Close thread.

Omg my lotus! I forgot about my lil Elise!!

I wonder if the M5/6 board sees these many threads about E55's vs M5/6, we just get flooded with the trolls

LOL......hillbilly azz Cadillac!........LOL Couldnt take it anymore.

Ha! Too funny. Looks nice. Space Gray and spot package? Looks nice. Why not a 335... easy to mod.

Not looking to mod, it is just a bridge car until my next purchase!

Who 'ya gonna' believe?

Guys...guys, the point of my post was not to troll the board. I know that e/cls 55 must be faster. But this I got beaten by m5 I was wondering if everything is ok with my car and what kind of thing I should check to be sure. I will most probably dyne it as well.

if nothing is wrong with your car then these are the most likely results for stock cars

• from a dig (full stop) if you get good traction you win
  
• from mid/ high speed rolls they will start to pull on you

That was not a stock 55. Deffinetly at least had exhaust work.

For those who wanted a pic.

And i don't understand how it proves that i am the owner, but... anyway

we will have pleanty of videos of the m5 vs e55's at timmayfest in june. We rented out the entire drag track for the event!

Maybe move your seat a little closer to the pedals next time???

What were the conditions (temp, are your tires almost bald, had you been driving in a spirited manner before the race occured etc)?
Did you split your s/c cooling from the engine cooling?

Nice color for those wheels btw

How much faster is the M5 than an E55.... it all depends on how wild the M5 sychophant's dreams are that evening....

Sorry...I had to get in on the fun while the thread was open...

Sweet post those for sure!

@Greg - I am 195 cm long - I am close enough to the pedals in whichever seat position :-)

The conditions were "normal". Tires are new, fronts are PS2s and rears are hankooks ventus. Temperature was something like 15C and yes sc cooling is split.

The car came with chrome wheels which I dislike so I decided to repaint them. The closest color to the original was the one you can see on the picture.

If the seat is adjusted correctly, then you need to wear heavier shoes!!!

How much bigger is my pen*s than yours?

Might want to bleed the system then and be patient. Last time I bled mine, there was no bubbling in the tube for a good 20 minutes then from nowhere a bunch of bubbles. This is easier to do too if you have your pump wired to the accessory position.

It would be hard for a M5 to keep up with the E55 or E63 on paper. Compared to the E55, the M5 has a smaller engine and no forced induction. Compared to a E63, its has a substantially smaller engine. It would be pretty amazing if the M5 could keep up at all like some people claim.

Well, the cooling system is freshly bled. I was having problems with the S/C shutting off and it then turned out that guys at the workshop didn't refill the system properly. They bled it and it should be fine now.

I was just looking for common reasons of the powerloss on 55 engine besides problems with cooling and IATs.
