Its not the "New" M5... just a tuned one...

Tuner G-Power has taken a standard BMW M5 – which produces 507bhp out of the box – and strapped two turbochargers onto the German motor’s massive 5-litre V10 engine, to produce 730bhp.
Bit like Brabus and Merc's

I drove an M5 and M6 and they are horrible to drive IMHO, the gearbox is terrible at anything other than full chat.

My choice, RS4 Avant in Misano Red, jesus what a great car sooooo much fun and fast estates are just cool.

Now you come to mention it the diff on the M6 I drove had a bit of a shunt in it. Don't get me wrong, bloody quick but just didn't do it for me.... I am not a great BMW fan though.

My mate had an E46 325ci when they first came out and it was great I agree, my uncle has a 330d Cab and it is impressive but when I jumped in the M6 I just expected a whole lot more........ I just don't think the finish was great inside and the driving experience wasn't what I would expect for a car of it's price. I work for an Audi/Porsche/VW dealer and I can honestly say the all have a better interior "feel" than the BMW's IMHO.

I agree BMW engines are great(hell I have a 4.4 Rangey ) but they just don't light my fire the way a fast Audi does.

My foreman was a service manager for BMW in South Africa and he loves BMW's, but even he said there was no way he would have the M6(never drove M5) over an RS4, the new S5 or even S6(can't wait for an RS6 to come in ).

In the same way I'm not Gareth, and I'm not a Porsche fan either. Accomplished they may well be, but they're overpriced and overrated. And round here both are ten a penny so hardly exclusive........bloke 10 minutes up the road has a brand new Rolls Royce Phantom drophead in powder blue, saw it yesterday. List on that is £307k, and at the moment they're going for well over that.......if you want to be exclusive round here you need an Enzo or a Veyron. Everything else you can see if you want to. And no, I don't live in Mayfair, there's just plenty of money round here if you know where to look.
