But 0-62 in 4.5 seconds, per the article, is underwhelming as far as I'm concerned. Of course we know BMW tends to understate its performance figures, particularly with its turbo'ed engines... but nonetheless, BMW could have brought these figures in a few tenths lower. For now I'm underwhelmed, but I'll reserve final judgment pending real world results.
The 560 hp is also mildly underhwelming, but 510 lb-ft of torque has a lot of promise. This car will be an entirely different creature to drive compared to the previous M5 methinks. Eager to test drive this thing.
