watchout for "Kain Strikes Back"

Now we can expect to get more how Benz sux from Kain considering there is a new article on www.germancarfans.com on the new m5 engine.
BTW I heard from my dealer that they are planning to increase the power in the E55 to compete with M5 on the numbers. I would choose a E55 any day over a M5.

Funny you should say that. Everything you have said about the new M5 is based on "assumptions".
