Besides, Audi will be introducing a new RS6 sedan, which will be using a 500hp+ twin-turbo 5.0L+ V8...and with quattro, even I could ensure a good launch.
In my opinion, BMW screwed up with the new M5. I know the 0-60 is just ONE test, out of like 1000. But frankly, too many other competitors are matching M-cars these days, at the same price or lower!
The biggest let-down is how you can pick up an M3, costing tens of thousands of dollars less, mod a little, and spank the M5 in every department.
If BMW spent all that money on a V10, at least make 600hp out of it or something...maybe a little more torque than the previous M5, too. Geez someone wrongfully advised them this time!
