Yup... sighs... Aha. AMG's are supposed to have huge engines with crazy torque ( as JC put it "enough torques to spin the earth the other way when it takes off"...ahaha). God, everything's turned on its head. Sigh!

what that picture got to do with this thread la dude ?

i read conflicting reports about the upcoming m5, how it's either going to have a uprated v10 to 5.5l, or the 750's twin turbo, which incidentally is good for just over 400hp, so they've got their work cut out for them. either way, i get bmw's mag ever quarter, and they've been incessantly harping on their efficient dynamics, which really is probably the right thing to do because the horsepower wars are pretty insane.

for end users, bmw obviously have their head screwed on right; the majority of the buyers aren't looking for huge capacity monsters, they want that fine line between comfort, practicality and hair-raising performance. i can't imagine what the road tax for a e63 is going to be like, and how much fuel it drinks while WOT, although on our roads here, i doubt the pedal will remain floored for very long. it's a rarefied market, these huge horsepower sedans, and i totally agree with you about the m5 maintaining the lead, because it is going in the right direction, and especially if they opt for the turbo, the road tax factor won't be a great issue. the m5 has the image and name, but seriously... they have to improve that interior.

its a nice skyline vroom!

I'm a big fan of BMW's and the M5 and the M3 are probably the reasons behind that. But I can't agree more with you bout the interior. They have to improve on it and improve on it to the point where it sets itself apart from its lesser siblings...

Agong's Ride

hmm.. i never stumbled across bout the new m5 goin 4 the increased capacity v10, good 2 know then.. thnx 4 the info..

the new v8 is an incredible engine according 2 people who has tried em.. currently fitted 2 the new 7 series as well as the x6, this new powerplant has been planned 2 be use in more models in the future.. if the new m5's gonna have this, most probably they'll tune it 2 deliver around 500hp too.. bmw definitely dont wanna lose in making the new m5 much less powerful than its rivals, especially now that even jaguar is coming 2 the party wit 500hp on tap..

n i agree totally wit u bout the hp battle, is totally insane!!

if however they decide put that v8 in the new m5, id be sad.. coz i seriously love that v10.. it may not sound as good the merc's v8, but its one superb powerplant.. n sadder even 2 know that in its entire lifetime its only being used in 2 models, n even that 2 is pretty much the same car

The V10 in the current M5, if i'm not mistaken, I read somewhere that it was race derived... True? I wouldn't be surprised to be honest.
