BMW M4 vs E60 M5 V10 *video*
Discussion
Not the best video but my word does the V10 have a mental top end on it!

Glad I had the chance to have one in my life.

There's only going to be one winner there!
E60 M5s are sensational when things get going, very few cars get the better of them on highways.
Wasn't it funny how the M4 chaps thought they'd killed the beast, only to see it waltz off into the distance?

Love the V10 love.
I toyed with getting one. It's just the depressing 'don't want to drive it' mpg, the risk of ruinous bills and that the serious fireworks (as shown in vids above) that don't happen until well above 100mph which makes it practically pointless. And if you want all that, might as well get a Lambo.
But..don't get me wrong, the mighty V10 in the E60 is a million times more interesting than the F10's block, no matter how much faster the newer car is.
It's a screaming V10 in a 5 series saloon

I was fortunate to have had two and now have an F10. I really don't think we will ever see the likes again, the F10 is without a doubt an amazing machine but doesn't have that glorious V10.
Much maligned a bit like the CSL at launch, but scratch under the surface and they are phenomenal cars once understood.
INMHO a future classic.

A standard non PP C63 is only limited to 65% throttle, so no wonder it will loose to a modded (or even stock) M5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsnLfAdriAI

Unrestricted, they are very similar as they should be, both around 500bhp.
Great cars.

Yep looking it up even the earliest gallardo has an equivalent power and getting on for 500kg less weight!!!
With the gallardos traction that shouldn't have been much of a contest. What am I missing?

What's the M5 0-100 mph please?
9.2 seconds according to fastestlaps.comHowever once rolling its about shifting at the right time at the right revs.
Over 4500rpm the way the S85 accelerates is breathtaking and throws you back in your seat.
