New M5









Look at this engine. Under the bonnet of the new BMW M5 lies a newly developed, high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo (consisting of Twin Scroll Twin Turbo technology, a cross-bank exhaust manifold, High Precision Injection petrol direct injection and VALVETRONIC fully variable valve control), maximum output of 412 kW/560 hp at 6,000 – 7,000 rpm and peak torque of 680 Newton metres (502 lb-ft) between 1,500 and 5,750 rpm. The instantaneous power delivery and sustained thrust familiar from M cars are the key to acceleration of 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.4 seconds (0 – 200 km/h/124 mph: 13.0 seconds).

Man, those things are going to generate alot of heat, and melt the engine covers....LOL
Also look over top the strut towers, could this be an active suspension, or airmatic?
It looks like wires running into the strut towers to me.

As long as the internal wastegates hold up and the HPFP doesn't fail, should run like a champ

I like the E63 interior better though. Heck, I still find the W211 interior to be pretty awesome.

Pretty crazy setup.

Yullie, no air suspension but it will have electronic dynamic dampers (EDC), similar to Porsche's PASM.

I'll take a regular W212 over an F10 due to my appreciating for its styling and engineering more-so, but something about "M5" is just so cool. I'd have a tough time choosing between an M and the E63, if I wanted one of these cars. I'd probably go E63 anyway, knowing me.
Shame because I was seriously considering the sedan before I came to my senses and bought a CPO E63 with a longer warranty for less money and low miles....
