Enjoyed that one. More positive words like we come to expect.
I like these Ignition episodes so far. Not just straight up technical review (has that too) but also a nice everyday/everyman perspective too. |

Sheep's clothing? It's just a plain wolf if you ask me. It'll take a sizable bite out of any competition I say.

Yeah true it was easier to base this engine off the S63 but ten again it does get 26 mpg!! M5 is pulling impressive numbers holy mother...

Excellent review, really enjoyed watching it! It is just such a technological masterpiece...
Yea tell me about it, I just saw one in full black mode (wheels, kidneys, etc ...) and it is REALLY hard to tell apart from the front. I could spot the E60 M5 from miles away, or by even only seeing 2 square inches from behind a truck or something ... Now I go "Is that an M5, is it an M5, omg is that an M5, ........... And yes it was! (tailpipes)" E60 was more aggressive, F10 is nearing perfect beauty. |
