I'm a little tired of the biased opinions at M5board too. BMW:s are great cars but there's a little narrow-minded perspective over there. It's no site for car enthusiasts.

Nonetheless, impressive performance on the wagon...

Can you teach me any swedish insult so i can cuss Gustav (owner of M5board) out? I always found him too uptight while i was on his board

Haven,t seen the DVDs to actually judge, but i think the clips give you a decent estimation of how fast some cars really are compared to others.

Like i said, i havent seen the DVDs, but i want to see at least 3 runs for each race:

- From a standing stop
- Quarter mile (400meters)
- And lastly and all out run like they seem to do already

Respect to the M5 wagon but it wouldn't be a contest on the track with the GT3. However if you need to haul groceries, I guess the M5 would win in that category.

Jox, I think OJ has plenty of credibility left...

the sad part is that they do not sell the wagon here...
I would buy it.

I love fast wagons and MB is the only one that has the balls to import one to the USA (E63 wagon)...

as for the GT3... best car made in my opinion

M5 board is not that great very biased, how can a stock M3 DCT gearbox 2008 model be faster than an C63 in a top end.

Impossible.

The GT3 would make the M5 weep around a track! But in a straight line the autobahn-shopping-trolly is amazingly quick, no doubt.

And then it's the m5board. Their comparisons very often have interesting results.

^ Have you seen the new RS6 wagon?
The whole car literally shakes standing still everytime you rev it up.


I dont understand why you guys say M5 board is biased, its just a bunch of car guys getting together and racing,so i would doubt anyone would stage his or her car's win or loss.

The only negative factors in some of those vids are probably having to carry a fat-ass cameraman as an extra load or just bad driving
