I tend to agree with Vic's point about the easier car to drive in most situations. That would generally favor AWD. Along with a responsive engine with driveable torque curve, such a car usually turns out to be the faster car in most situations with ease. I think it's time to go with the program. Rear wheel drive cars are no longer competitive with the power levels we are talking about now and in the near future. BMW understands that and hence, the option of xDrive for the upcoming M5. Never quite understand the silly purist theory of being exclusively rear wheel drive. It's not like all these so-called purists drift their cars every now and then. It's nothing more than an ego trip for them. As for AWD induced understeer, it's not a major technical issue that can't be overcome with some engineering. I don't forsee the next M5 dipping below 30s to 300km/h. They generally don't make huge leaps between generations so as to leave something in reserve for the comp pack or something.

Im getting bored of the M5--- can you believe I might got back to an RS7 or?????
I dont need a sedan per se but a car that can rack up around 5k miles a year. Maybe a 991.2 C2S? The tune is almost here and imagine how bad ass that car will be with 100 more tq and 70 more whp with a 3.0 hahaha and it traps 150 in the half mile stock plus it handles. Or the car in question via this thread but it will be an msrp car for a while.

Yeah, I already did it with the M5 and she tasted a lot better the 2nd time around.
I don't think I want to play that heavy in the market for car- full apportioned it will be in the 170's plus I'm guessing and there wont be any discount yet. But I do think its gonna kick some ass.

If I dump the M5 its to leave the brand in this segment and then come back when the M is out.

At least you're not in NZ, we need to pay US$220k for a new one, then 2 year old ones are worth US$70k, AND we can buy demonstrators from the UK that are 2-6 months old with less than 4000 miles on them for US$75k. List price in the UK converts to US$135k, and apparently it is possible to negotiate to about US$100k. In NZ you mention any of this to the dealers here and they stop talking to you. |
