Check your ratio math. I routinely keep it in 3rd at 80 mph

 

Are you really saying stock VS stock E55 is outdated compare to the E60 M5 ? Yes, I agree the new M5 F10 is much faster than 55K or even the new 5.5TT no doubt but I have raced the V10 M5, M6 and never lost (at least got to 100mph) OK, now what ? because those M5 or M6 guys I raced don't know how to shift their car properly ?!

 

Man... If I had your type of money I would have done every car purchase you have until now lol. Like you said though I'm sure the outcome of the races you had aren't false but I also have multiple runs on video racing w211 e63 and a w212 e63 (6.2L) and beaten both with the w211 e63 giving me more of a hard time. Oh and by the way I still love my e55 5 years and 4 months later no matter how outdated it is lol

 

+100 I have my car for almost 4 years still love it very much and don't think it outdated at all. If I have the money as Vic, sure the new M5 will be my list instead of new E63 or CLS63. To be honest, F10 M5 not only kick *** in performance, the interior design is much better than W212.

 

Every time I buy something new and go into a new community around a top level performance car I forget, and think, other people who have this car must appreciate all awesome rides like me.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people defend their car like the purchase of any other is tantamount to mental defect.

The F10 M5 is a beautiful car. BMWs, by and large, are far more engaging when turns are part of your road, and if you've learned anything about the turbo and motor engineering in the new M5, you will properly be captivated. AMG Mercedes have perfected the simple joy of stomping a pedal with a straight road ahead of you. Any modified this versus any modified that can "win", if going some speed or accelerating at some rate over some distance in some condition constitutes being "better". Whatever makes you happy, I guess. But good lord, passionate personal defense of a brand or a model of car?

C'mon. What is being built now and we're lucky enough to own is incredible, and there's no question the technology of today's top tier car trumps everything from the E55. And there's also a chevelle and corvette from the late 60s that's "faster" than anything from the factory today. Who gives a s? It's all awesome. We're lucky. Another car being "better" than yours in some fashion doesn't mean you're a retard.


By the way - what is the deal with interior storage on the W211? And why does the center console, where I want to rest my arm, consist of an uncomfortable roll-back drawer cover? Who OK's this crap to give us in conjunction with an incredible motor?

 

True 👍

 

kind of a lame video but my buddy sent it too me after i raced him, thought i would share.

 

The out come is better than I expected from E55.

 

Do you have a heat exchanger? Upgraded pump? I raced one also 5mph roll, I have eurocharged tune and cm30 pump and got walked easily. They're fast.

 

I raced one stock and took it by a few cars. Ill run him again and get some nice videos. My new plate just came in today as well haha..

 

He has the SC pulley... If you add the pulley and Header you should be fine with stock F10 M5 IMO....

 

Love your plate and diffuser !

 

Thank you sir!

 

What does your car run in 1/4 mile?

 

I like your plate LOL M5 I have 2FAST4M3 lol your car is faster 100% I race both cars m5 is slower I beat them with my c63 all day everyday

 

Nice!

 

Close call but if I had to choose... M5.

 

I like the F10 M5's and BMW's in general. A few weeks ago on a roadtrip north from San Diego found myself cruising with an F10 M5. Cosmetically the car was lightly modified and it looked gorgeous. I could not however tell if its engine was modified though it did look and sound like it had an aftermarket exhaust. I thought it was safe to simply he assume he had more power than a stock M5. My car has roughly 500rwhp.

So, for a few miles we were polite and moving slightly faster than traffic which was a little on the heavy side. I was at 4 or so car lengths behind him when we got to that open stretch of road just north of Oceanside. Traffic subsided and well...he put the hammer down. I had a feeling he would but he still got a little jump on me. We were probably around 75-80mph or so when we started and quite unexpectedly to me at least, I reeled him in. My guess was that his car would make power up high and just walk me. That didn't happen. My torque seemed to allow me to close up on him and my car simply kept pulling. Traffic going into immigration check thickened and we both slowed. Eventually we were at a stand still and when I asked him (and his passneger, my car had just me) if he was stock he said "no", and to how much power, he said "600". I asked if that was at the wheels, he said no and I then told him that I did not have 600hp but maybe had 500 at the wheels. The expression on the passengers face told me he was fudging his numbers but everything was friendly so I left it at that.

All that said, I think my experience, like almost all impromptu street tangles, has to be taken with a grain of salt. He may not have had the pedal all the way down and quite frankly, in my few miles of cruising with him before we went, he didn't seem all that comfortable in the car. Hesitant moves, not a lot of spatial awareness...it's why I chose to have him in front of me where I could see him, rather than behind me and have him come up on me in a blind spot at some inopportune time.
