Teamspeed IAA 2011: BMW M5
#15
Love that car! I'm so very, very bummed that I couldn't make it to IAA this year. They would have had to remove me from that car with a winch.
And I'm with AC1982 on this one. I find the F10 to be the best-looking mid-size saloon of the current lot, and I like that they haven't gone completely overboard on aggression. I dig the whole 'sober, but with a killer punch' thing, and I liked that with the E39, you had to be in the know to spot one. That subtlety sort of went out the window with the E60, and it's still not there yet, but I like this A LOT! I'll take mine in Singapore Grey, please.
That new 1er is a weird, weird thing. It looks brutal, but on such a small scale that it's like being threatned by a midget.

I wonder if the 190mph is the true, drag-limited top speed. The E60 was good for 205 with the limiter removed, so it's hard to see how 10% more power would result in 15 mph reduction in top speed unless the new car either has a much bigger drag area, or is much less aerodynamically efficient than the previous car.
