Jeez, they put some big 'ol coolers on that thing... twice as big as the current version of that engine.

You bought the end of an era.... high revving naturally aspirated machine. Who knows if there will ever be another like it.

There is nothing wrong with a 500 hp, high revving, naturally aspirated V10, imo. It is the same reason I am looking for an e46 M3 over a tuned e92 335i. If you aren't limited to stoplight racing, there is something to be said for the "old school" high revving characteristics of an N/A ///M engine.

Except for the embarrassing fuel consumption, and pathetic range. Another member here sold his M5 after reporting 8-10 mpg combined in the real world, and 150 mile range per tank. He was refueling 2-3 times per week.

That V10 engine sounds great when it is running up through the revs, though.
