Use the five-speed's perfectly spaced ratios to their best potential, and there won't be many machines that'll eat your lunch. Not the Audi S4, not the Mercedes 500E. In fact, the 345-horsepower Porsche 928 GTS is only one tenth of a second quicker to 60 mph and through the quarter mile than this sedan. Launch the M5 like it craves, and you'll leave about 50 feet of smouldering rubber on the tarmac in first gear, another 10 feet in second, and you'll scream to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds.

Mjög gaman að lesa þetta og takið eftir að þarna er veirð að reynsluaka 3.6 lítra bílnum!
Now that the 740i's engine has found its way into the 5-Series, is there a 4.0-liter V-8-powered M5 in our future? Park the 850i's six-speed gearbox behind that combination and prepare for total world domination
hehe - 5 lítra V8 M5 er búin að rúla heiminum síðan 1998!
