In addition; the fuel economy of the old one was absolutely abysmal... In other words you are gaining far too much here and losing very little. You can improve sound a little by fitting a proper exhaust but if you go take this car for a drive and later hop in an E60; you will be more than disappointed especially given the amazing gear box this car has. This was a review for Tiff and Vicky messed up... having driven the old V10 a few times in many situations and having driven a tuned 335i for the last couple of years; the M5 was way overrated minus the sound, this one certainly fixes that.

Wow.... This coming from someone who has never owned an M5 or M6, just drove it around a few times. Your claims about wow factor and proper fit are just dumb. Coming from someone who has a 800+ hp 335... Is 800+ HP a proper fit for a 335? When someone buys an "M" their main concern isn't gas consumption it's performance. What would you expect from a V10 engine, 30mpg?
Go to the M5 board and make the same comments and they will laugh at you.
