Damn! What a sound!

 

[Zafiro]

This might be the first M5 with a supercharger? I never heard of it before. I wonder what the power is?

 

[PanterroR]

Don't even think about that... You can imagine what's the output from 5.0L and 10 cylinders with supercharger...

Btw, any idea who tuned that car? Is it private or officially tuned by some company?

Am amazed. I didn't think the M5 engine could handle additional supercharger since it has been really pushed to the limits in both Rev limits and compression ratio .. But this is just amazing .. waiting for more details from Just_Me

Thanx for the video

there are M3 E46, M3 CSL and M5 E39 with superchargers too. Always someone who wants more power

Mr. Urlich told in one interview that V10 powerplant can handle much more than they actually pulled out from it...

[but they felt sorry for Lambos and Ferraris]

I heard the M5 can rev up to almost 10.000rpm without problem. Now its limited

Oh man, I want a supercar from BMW using the V10

I wouldn't be surprised, but reliability would be a problem.

I wouldn't be surprised, but reliability would be a problem.

Actually, I don't think it would be that hard on the engine. Engine breaking is really what is hard on high reving engines. I remember reading about F1 cars and an engineer said that the engine breaking was much harder on the engine than reving it all the way to 19k.

thats the thing, it wasnt a realibility thing. If they ever build a supercar with the V10, expect it to rev higher.

Could you explain what you mean by "engine breaking"? The reason an F1 engine can rev up to 18k rpms is because they only have to last a few hundred kilometers. The engine on the M5 on the other hand...

Could you explain what you mean by "engine breaking"?

"Engine braking", downshifting without touching the throttle.

"Engine braking", downshifting without touching the throttle.

Oh of course, never mind... I wasn't thinking straight... I was thinking along the lines of engine break in procedures

But those are F1 engines and not street cars engines.

You have to understand that the compression ratio of a high reving engine is high. That is why the supercharged and the turbo charged engines that Audi, and MB makes are low compression engines.

I didn't know that this M5 was supercharged, I think it just said that it had a Nitrous injection.

To me that video proved nothing and it seems that every time a video comes around people are so amazed.

Here are the problems with the video

1. The video is shot in the dark
2. The perspective you get proves nothing to you
3. All you know is that the M5 is good at peeling out and can do it
4. There is not proof whether it be visual or sound that this car has a supercharger.

When Active Autowerks was trying to develop a turbo for the E46 M3 it took them a while because of the engine problems they were having.

This is a V-10 block which is the same block as the F1 car which I can't remember the specifics about.

The engine for M is a high reving high compression engines which facilitates them with higher RPMs and this is why you have to rev the engines in order to get power.

I hope Just me can find out if this car has a superchager which I really doubt.

Now there might be people that might be working on some sort of supercharger and/or turbo charger but I highly doubt it. The only thing that might be in store for this car are intakes, exhaust, chips, etc. that are mechanical and not forced inductive.

No supercharger guys!

It is interesting though becaue the more cylinders you have the harder it is to have it be a high reving engine.

Honda makes high reving engines and that is why it is easier to make a 4 cynlider high reving than a 12 cynlinder.

now you have to take into consideration that an F1 car engine is very very very different.

How many shots of nitrous?

How many shots of nitrous?

I am not sure. I can't go back to the forum to see what they are talking about right now, but I think you can hear it at the beginning of the video in which followed by the noise or shot he beings to peel out
