Video: BMW M5 in Blighty

Yes it's a promo vid, but it's got us all excited over the new M5. Again

Not quite exciting enough, some say. The E63 AMG is marginally better, say others. Even our very own Chris-R was merely 'whelmed' by the new BMW M5.

But that's probably partly because we expect so much of new M cars, and possibly partly because motoring hacks are a cynical, jaded lot.

Either way, the new BMW M5 is heading for Blighty pretty darn soon, and this new promo vid is the first one we've seen shot on this sceptred isle. And it's got us all excited about BMW's new uber-saloon all over again.

After all - 560hp, twin-turbo V8, rear-drive, sexy slow-mo powerslides: what's not to like?
