Wow, regardless of what the end time was, it's trap speed that tells you just how fast this car is. 122 mph is insane, that's just as fast, or faster than a Nissan GTR. Not bad for a good sized family sedan. Add some tuning and you are talking about numbers that are just unreal!!!

Latest M5
Having just sold my 08 M5, I am relieved that the factory was sandbagging us this whole time. I was convinced, once I saw how fast the X5Ms were, that there was no way the new M would be slower. I have been driving an F10 N55 for a few weeks and I am beginning to see what a better suspension, drivetrain and all the rest will only make the F10 M5 a car that will be hard to beat by its peers of the same size and power. I soon as I get to see one in person, I will place my order.

http://www.caranddriver.com/features...ng-for-weather Lastly -1000 ft density altitude should give a roughly 5% power change or about 30 hp in the case of the M5. It is nowhere close to 50-70 hp. Have a look at this quick calculator: http://wahiduddin.net/calc/calc_hp_dp.htm . Quote:

I must say that a lot of people on this thread are posting their emotions. So typical and for pure entertainment only. Very few are really, or could really answer the technical questions. More speculation and for more entertainment rather than informative information. CD is one car mag. Let's hold off the celebration until the others report it. Besides, speed is to relative. Appears to be a fast M5 for sure, though.

Just curious - Do you believe that other results from magazines/journalists will be drastically worse than these? Although I have no crystal ball for sure, I'd be willing to place a large bet that the other major mags report numbers that are right in the same general range.
