I'm not a *huge* BMW fan, but...

[Loco Honkey]

Mmmm...

http://www.bmwm5.com/articles/m5e60/pressr...essrelease.html

I especially enjoy the engine pics. Damn.

 

[B16]

V10 goddamn muthafucka!!

i still hate the headlights and taillights of the new 5 series

 

[Havok]

Also, the press release mentions a time of 8 minutes. 8 minutes and 0 seconds. For one lap around the Nürburgring.

Sexy.

 

[lsvtec]

The car it self is ugly, they lifted the tail lights from subbie. I've never been a fan of BMW and the looks of this car aren't changing my mind. I am sure it will be a blast to drive but I don't really want to spend the kind of cash required to own one on a car that looks that nasty.

That engine is awesome.

 

[jamesA]

I like it, but i can't afford it. so yeah.

 

[Seany-izzle]

looks good, i HATE the 7 series rear ends tho.

 

[E_SolSi]

BMW M is first world-wide with introducing a 7-speed gearbox in a series-produced car

liars.

[dohcvtec_accord]

Wow.

Wowowowowowowow.

I, also, am not a fan of BMW's.

But that thing is hot. Body, engine, everything. I've always been attracted to sedans, and the new M5 is no exception.

I need one.

7-speed transmission? Yes please!

ME412

That's only a concept car- it's not a series-produced car.

 

[NissanNiNjA2nd]

so... hmm although that is a pretty stout motor... the car still weighs about 3900 lbs..... being that these things have so many traction controls... wouldnt someone figure out that weight is a bad thing?

It cool and everything but I have to say that I dont think that i would actually own it... but thats just my opinion.

ME 4(turbo) 12(cylinders)

ME 412. Got a picture of it at the autoshow in January. Pimp car...

 

[JDMilan]

god damn that thing has balls.... I like the interior some, but the exterior I hate.

 

[TurboMirage]

that motor is fucking yummy!!

 

[Tonyd0821]

so when does the new m5 debut in america?

anyone know around how much it will cost?


what are the performance stats of ....say a 530i (new) ?

unlike you guys, im in love with the new 5 series body style....

i was driving down by the beach today and saw some yuppie in his brand new 530i. i caught him as i was slowing down from about 20 miles an hour, and the ass end just caught my attention and the lines on that car just flowed to perfection.

thinking about leasing one....

 

[driverunknown]

pimp car.

So it has a manual transmission, without the clutch pedal???

Touring cars own.

 

[liquid00meth]

I'm a huge fan of the last generation m3 (e36?), and not as big of a fan of the new styling. But it's still sick.


That thing takes it to a whole new level.

 

[DarkHand]

The redline on the gauge actually changes depending on oil temperature... Awesome.

Just like the current M5 and M3.....but it is still a delicious car

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Meh, the new BMWs are getting really ugly. There were at their prime before that one american dude started designing their cars.
