This car is produced as both and this is something that it definitely benefits from; having both is an amazing combination.

Somehow its back to m3 v. 335i. We cannot help ourselves.
Back to the topic at hand. I am sure everyone will love and buy this m5 as it is the only thing that bmw is offering. Would be REALLY interesting to see what people chose to buy with two engine options-a v10 NA 530hp engine v. this TTV8. with 560hp. Or even better comparo a V10 with 560 v. TTV8 with 560.
I do not know what the masses would choose.
I am tempted to look into a viper in a couple years. What are they up to now-like a 9 litre V10? It has grown fro 6L or so when it came out to atleast 8-9 L. Shit that is a monster
