RE: New BMW M5 Struts Its Stuff On The Snow
Discussion
That's going to sound absolutely amazing with a decent exhaust on. I can't wait to see the new M5 in action properly, though I'm not convinced about the looks of the back end yet - perhaps a touch much of that god awful 5 series GT thing in there.

No doubt in M5 tradition it'll be King of the performance saloons. Personally i think BMW peaked with the E39 M5, perect balance of weight, power, size etc.
that seems to be general consensus. but it's not as if they've made 10 M5's since then...it was only 1 car. chris harris said it feels like it's more from the E39 than the E60, which is only a good thing.and....has there ever actually been a bad M5?
so far at least, every time a new M5 comes out, it's always been the top of the big sports saloon cars.

I think he mentioned that the car had been tested on the 'Ring, South Africa, France and Sweden.
More importantly - I wonder if those were winter tyres!!
i think (this is to g3org3y) the point was the fact that they've come up with a decent package after doing A LOT of testing. not just that it can drive on snow with winter tyres. it's that they've tested it in the severe cold, extremely hot, on track, in cities etc to destruction to bring a good car. lets face it, every M5 thus far has been rather good.More importantly - I wonder if those were winter tyres!!

just to add, turns out this 3min video clip is not at all about showing what the car can do on snow. it's also largely about BMW extreme weather testing, and how it helps them work some of the trickery out, as it were. here is is with subtitles.
