BMW Purists like RWD with manual 6 speed. They would choke at the thought of a AWD M Car with a torque convertor automatic.

It's interesting that both of you mention not being 100% happy with the transmission when every review I've read states that it is a fantastic auto that makes many reviewers not miss a DCT type transmission. It is of course a version of the ZF 8 Speed SuperFast transmission, that is most probably the best TQ tranny existing currently. Do you think it's because you've been driving the PDK which is of course the best DCT out there? Bish |

Second, I didn't say jag's tranny was not fast... it's fast as a TQ tranny but not as fast as DCT.

@thebishman Sorry Bish as I didnt articulate further; I wasnt that dissappointed in the tranny for the Jag but I do wish it had a dual clutch system. But with that being said that would not be a deal breaker for me as I have and had other cars recently without the magical DCT including the C63 Black, R8 V10, RS7 and SL63. So yes Ill drive the Jag again and Ill probably get it too

So buy both... :-)
http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=973729 I'm interested in a link to the place or information on the upgrades you mentioned. Remember, the convertible is down on power with a "measly" 495 HP advertised. |

Yes the rear is very wide--- I think MotorTrend said its over 2 inches wider than the 991 C2S 50th anniversary edition which is just as wide as a C4S.

Great, and thorough writeup. I felt like I was there!
This car is definitely on my radar when the M5 goes. I'm impressed with the Nurburgring lap times! 7:39 That's base C6 Z06 times. Like you said with a pulley, intake and tune, it should be quite the sexy contender. And sound is critical and this car wins in that territory.

So I have to figure out if this car will be enough to last maybe a year? I think with the pulley and tune it will for sure as Ill be pushing another 90 whp ontop of the 550 crank. IDK as I really enjoy the cars I have right now more than any other group Ive owned at the same time.

BTW, I test drove a RS7 here in the DC area yesterday and I kind of liked it. More body roll than I would like in a $120k car and the tech (or the look of it) seemed dated to me, but I can see why you purchased it.

Nope, it didn't have the springs you mentioned. The CA told me that someone ordered this one and couldn't keep up with the payments and ended traded it back in for an RS5. It also didn't have HUD...I've gotten spoiled by BMW. Based on the test drive and your recommendation of the springs, the RS7 will probably be on my short list of next cars to get along with that new S63 AMG Coupe.
