Bmw?

For being on a Mercedes website I sure am reading a lot about BMW! I'm almost wishing I stayed on the "darkside" now.

155 mph top speed in 14.9 sec.

<<155 mph top speed in 14.9 sec.

NEVER. This has to be a misprint. Maybe to 155mph in 20-25 seconds.

Old M5 -> 227BHP/Tonne

A comparision:

911 Turbo -> 267 BHP/Tonne
360 Modena F1 -> 276 BHP/Tonne
Aston Vanquish -> 258 BHP/Tonne

anyone knows what the E55 bhp/weight?

My sources say 255HP/tonne for e55 and 222HP/tonne for e39 M5.

Yeah it was a misprint. Was supposed to read 0-124 in 14.9 sec. Pretty BLOODY fast for a manufacturer's figure. MB says the E55 does it in 16.1.

Does anyone know the E55's laptime at Nürburgring? The M5's 8min laptime is really impressive, for comparison its faster than the Porsche 996 GT3, Ferrari 360 Modena, and the 550.
