2012 BMW M5 (F10) - Wallpapers, Official Information, Specs, Reviews, and Videos - Page 9 - M5POST

v1p3r · 06-15-2011, 07:04 AM

From Insideline's X6M test

As tested Curb Weight (lb): 5,256

Test Results:
0 - 30 (sec): 1.7
0 - 45 (sec): 2.9
0 - 60 (sec): 4.3
0 - 75 (sec): 6.4
1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 12.6
0-60 with 1 foot of rollout (sec): 4.1

From the 0-60 time I can't see how the lighter ///M5 won't beat this by some margin.

It looks beautiful and I love the M6-like wheels with a modern touch. Like what they've done with the engine aesthetics. Not overdone, just evil looking

Thanx for the info.
But TRACTION can be an issue when accellerating from zero to whatever speed. The X6M has X drive...

The new M5 is TOO BIG. I drove an F10 and it's just like a barge. That's the real problem. Why do they invest so much R&D in making a whale handle well is beyond me. I now realize that Mercedes is clever when they don't really care if their big saloons handle well. They only add power and brakes.

560hp is not extraordinary. It's clear that BMW also had efficiency in mind besides the power.

The new M3, on the other hand...

edit: I think in the last "sport auto magazin" the Panamera turbo s was tested against the S63 AMG, 760i etc. and I think it made 3.8 from 0-100 kph and about 11,8 to 200kph!!!! Thats impressive!
But you can´t be serious comparing the panamera and the 5 series?!

Wiles · 06-15-2011, 08:39 AM

Boring looks like a Ford Taurus.

Would buy so many other cars first if I was in the market.

I have liked the prior M5's but I think this one will be a flop.

It will be a success for bmw, a nice car to have but IMO will not fill the void of a true M car. Would be nice if they offered both this and a high revving screamer.

+1
I hope the M GmbH will surprise us all and the upcoming M3 will still have a NA engine.

Remeber this one, some 20 years ago?

Turbos are from the past and ready for the future imho.

The ///M front bumper looks more subtle,

But the rear diffuser is definitely meaner,

burrito007 · 06-15-2011, 08:51 AM

BMW I am dissappoint

3 less HP than an X6M--- and only 1 more Tq?

sounds like a whole lotta nothing you get extra from those humungous intercoolers. Maybe the torque curve will be awesome, and maybe there will be a lot left over for aftermarket tuners.... I was at least hoping for a figure like 575hp

So --- WHY on earth would I ever spend 100,000 on an M5 when I can get a 550i with xdrive and M-aero kit and a tune? DCT/6spd? Ceramic brakes? (likely a huge $$$$ option)

M isn't for motorsport
M isn't even for marketing anymore
M is for MEANINGLESS

James T. Kirk · 06-15-2011, 08:52 AM

Boom. Done. Perfect!

benzo23 · 06-15-2011, 09:02 AM

This car is the closest thing we have to go on earth...Dinan should have a field day tuning this thing...

rems09135i · 06-15-2011, 09:23 AM

Don't like the front bumper looks weak,the mirrors look boring ,rims look gay, blue breaks are gayer... hope they change it up a bit

IrI · 06-15-2011, 09:33 AM

Nice car, it's big but BMW usually knows how to do it.

And that F40! OMG!!!!!

It's true, they should be reversed. Look at the current E92 M-Sport vs the M3, the current F10 m-sport looks like the M3 front and the M5 looks like the E92 front.
