M5 5.5L V10 Twin Turbo?

[MPowerkd8]

I dont think that anyone knows where they will debut the vehicle. But, I would guess Geneva, also, becasue they did do alot new 7-Series stuff there.

Well, the auto show at Geneva (Geneve) is likely, it is as close to home turf as you will find for BMW in the auto show circuit. Paris is although a place to show radical and new concepts, which I think best describe the creations of the mad doctor bangle. I am suprised that no real good spy shots have come out, usually BMW leaks - even years in advance. I remember seeing X5 shots back in 1996 and 1997. Too bad the performance world outgrew the chainsaw inline six.

Do you think when the M5 V10 comes out that i should replace it with my 850Ci? What do you guys think...i think its worth it.

[thepolarfoxqx]

Well, if you are happy with the 850 (which was a sufficently amazing car) - then keep it. If you ever feel like you'd like to go faster, like you'd be able to put the fear of god into the vette driver next to you at the light, a car that handles better, and one with luxury like no other, then M5 is for you. Of course I expect the new M5 will ring in at about 100,000 dollars, the M6 for a few dollars more.

It is a lot, I won't give a definate answer till I see a production model. In person.

I am envious of your 850, which variant is it, 5.0 or 5.4, or 5.6, 6 speed or autobox?

[850 Ci]

Its tha 5.4 one i think. another thing i can do is just save up adn keep my 850 and buy an m5

[thepolarfoxqx]

The 5.4 V12 is a very nice engine. It had single and double overhead cam variants, both gave authoritative torque down low - and strong power up high to match. Power figures are as high as 361 on this engine.

It is an awsome power cruiser, I envy you.

[850 Ci]

thanks yeah its sweet but again im running out of room for it

[thepolarfoxqx]

Well, you have a few years to decide. I guess you'd have to drive one before deciding to put one of your other cars out in the cold.

[850 Ci]

yes for sure i just love my 850 its a bautiful and elegant car ... people still ask me if it teh new BMW!

[thepolarfoxqx]

The reason the 850 was never the success it should have been is because it never looked like a BMW. I hope the new 7 and 5 series don't have that problem. I love everything about the 850. I cannot wait for 6 series to debut.

I might just have to start playing powerball so I can get one.

Hallo scottiedavies,

 

schau doch mal hier zum Thema Zubehör für BMW M (Anzeige)? Eventuell gibt es dort etwas Passendes.

[850 Ci]

id get the 6 series but its a coupe liek teh 8.

[thepolarfoxqx]

The new M5 will be tipping the price tag scale around an even 100,000 dollars.

[850 Ci]

Holy crap thats cheap!! thats like 130-140 thousand canadaian, which was as much as my 850 holy crap!! relitively cheap i think

[thepolarfoxqx]

i didn't know the canadian dollar was that strong against a US $. Wow, that is a pretty good deal for you. Yes, the M5 will only be approximately $90,000 US base. Even so, it will be more expensive than the slightly more tame RS6 and E55 (which are only available in 5spd. auto).

[850 Ci]

Well in canada when u exchange proices from US, cars in canada are cheaper so yeah.

[thepolarfoxqx]

i have never been car shopping in canada, interesting to know cars are cheaper there.

[850 Ci]

Yeah its pretty crazy, but its probably because very limited people have luxury cars, and CAN get luxury cars.

[thepolarfoxqx]

Hey, how do 335/45/R19 tires sound in the rear?

[850 Ci]

of what and im not good on tires

[thepolarfoxqx]

345/45/19 is an unimagnably large tire. I believe it is over 10 inches and low profile.

[850 Ci]

What are the advantages of the tires being larger, not wider, but like larger other than it looks good? As well, form spy pics ive seen and photoshops, it looks like its gonna have some tires slightly smaller than the 7 series, which is like 19 or 18 tires!

[thepolarfoxqx]

the M5 will have very very wide tires (the largest tire availible on the 7 is perhaps a 275, while M5 will have 345). The larger diameter means per inch there is less curvature and a larger patch in contact with the ground.

345?! I think big tires look great on sports cars and they also do much for handeling and grip but isn't that overdueing it a little?

BTW If you're going to put tires that big on your car you better make sure you have power steering or else you wont have any arms left at the end of the day.
