Andy_Bangle Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) NEW 2011 BMW M5 F10 Nordschleife video: Someone did a good job of stalking this car With all the swirly camouflage, it's hard to tell much about the car's styling. You can expect it to follow the lead set by the new 5 Series Gran Turismo, though. Can you hear the turbo whine? <object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/i4vFDzpvnVU&hl=en&fs=1&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/i4vFDzpvnVU&hl=en&fs=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object> Edited October 13, 2009 by Andy_Bangle Strange, I put the title in CAPS and it all comes out lower case . . .

Andy_Bangle Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Car magazine has an "inside line" on the next gen M5, nothing groundbreaking apart from that it should get shown end of this year, early next.

bazza_g Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 the proportions and rear make it look like a 3 series saloon Pretty soon you won't order BMW's by the model/series - you'll just need to specify a length and number of doors needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I saw an X1 on the back of a transporter the other day and I was really struggling with why anyone would buy one instead of an X3 (if you were in the market for a BMW softroader, that is). New 5 series looks very current 3 series coupe-ish - still a great looking car though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Bangle Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Dr. Kay Sigler, head of BMW's M division has confirmed to no one's surprise that the next generation M5 would indeed use a twin-turbocharged V8 in place of the current model's V10. In fact, after last year's debut of the X5 M and X6 M we would have been quite shocked to see anything but the V8. While the 500 horsepower V10 in today's M5 is indeed powerful, in the years since its debut a number of even more powerful and, perhaps more importantly, torquier competitors have arrived. The supercharged 6.2-litre V8 in the Cadillac CTS-V and the turbocharged V10 in the Audi RS6 easily thrash the output of the Munich V10. The 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 cranks out 555 hp and 500 pound-feet in the two SUVs, but we're betting BMW will find a way to squeeze out even more for the sedan.

It will certainly need more just to keep up, if it's based on the new 5 series I fear it's going weight an awful lot and be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfer Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 While at the stealers Saturday I saw the new 5 series close up, it's the size of an old 7 series I'm sure the new M5 will be stonking, but I'll let someone else take the hit before buying one. Which is exactly what I've done with my 57 plate M5, 21k on the clock, one owner and under half price.... :D Yep I am looking at the M5 as the M3 just does not seem fast enough for me, the price will be a killer though 70+K basic I think, the Nissan GTR is really quick but TWO seats only , nothing else out there YET;) Maybe the F10 550i M Sport chipped could do the trick, anyone?.

Andy_Bangle Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 F10 BMW ALPINA B5 Bi-Turbo? Alpina is the real alternative to the ///M badge. However 550i has got a number of tuners excited - 620bhp is easily obtainable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfer Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I found the M3 lacked a bit of torque, but the sound, poise and handling made up for it when compared to tweaked 335i/d's. I'm sure a mapped 550i will be bloody fast, but still wont be an M car. Wonder what 'box they will put in the new M5 DCT or Auto?Been a passenger in the 'Ring taxi twice and though the M5 was quick but driving one myself was quite an eye opener, it was substantialy quicker than my M3 and the SMG (no where near as good as an automatic at slow speeds!) was giggle inducing when you're hooning. PS: Loving your alloys Cheers mate, they are good to look at, IF I go the 550i route ( PDI 120 should be the same as M3) I will keep them and sell the car with the 18" anthracites I have as a spare set.Whats your guess at the M5 price?. PS) F10 M5 coming with modified M-DCT 7 speed box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Any in the uk though Andy?. DMS tune the E60 550i so I'd guess they'll have something soon along with Hamann and Hartge. I wonder if the UK will get the 550xi ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 now being a turbo (the E60 was NA) will mean the tuners like Evolve and DMS will have some great gains with mapping. Agree entirely. The clever money is very much on a remapped 550i that puts out immense amounts of power for not a lot of money more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
