you maybe right - that's what was in their mag and online but...it was a black or singapore grey model. They use a MCB one for the new TG series so hopefully a completely different and fresh review, without captain slow.

Good memory. Here was the Top Gear Magazine review - http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=594443

It was a black M5.

I hope so. Hammond seems to be a good balance between styles of Clarkson and May

you guys were all wrong,

Some say that he doesn't like white chocolate, because he is afraid biting his finger; other says that he is always being too quick for everything, which make his girlfriend very mad

He is called the Stig

it's never just stig, always a presenter first reviewing and then stig hoooons it around the track to set a time for the lap board.

either way it will be good to see it accessed as they loved the E60 once the M button was pushed, not so keen on it in 400bhp mode.

Yes Hammond has that balance but I would prefer jeremy to test drive it because he drove the E60 M5 several times on the show, he would give a great comparison and review...

You mean massive body roll, a steering system that is not connected to the front wheels, and the engine note played through the speaker system?!?!?!?!

Do we have any ability to get this in the US on the air date? I have watched Top Gear for years on BBC America and I keep seeing ads that Season 18 doesn't start until April.

In my research of trying to see if I could pick up the new episode on my TV, I can't find any evidence the M5 will actually be reviewed tonight. I guess we will find out in a couple hours...

No way to see this live in the US
