Post Teamspeed IAA 2011: BMW M5


IAA 2011: BMW M5
Teamspeed.com – Frankfurt Motor Show 2011 Coverage
Text by Dan Trent - Contributing Editor

Frankfurt may be full of eco concepts and hybrids but it seems the Germans can’t quite kick the mega sedan habit. And they don’t come much more mega than the BMW M5.

It’s not got things its own way though, the recently revised and now twin-turbo Mercedes E63 AMG matching the new M stat-for-stat on the spec sheet. We look forward to that battle but in the meantime here are the numbers.

BMW has binned the last generation M5’s atmo V10 and replaced it with a twin turbo 4.4-litre V8. It comes with 560hp and a 0-60mph time of 4.4 seconds. Oh, and if you take the limiter off you’ll hit 190mph.

Didn't like the new design for the M5 at first but now it's really starting to grow on me.

Like the front but the back isn't aggressive enough,

The new M5 is absolutely gorgeous. I agree Josh, the new 1 is lame.
