M5 Officially Official: The BMW M5 F10.

Bluetooth and Sat Nav is a 3,800 Euro option? Interesting.

 

[LaArtist]

3100 on the E63 if you want command..
Lesser navigations can be had at 1500 euro

Its shamefull to be honest for cars over 100K

Shameful, is putting it mildly in a well behaved manner. Wish I could really spill my guts/thoughts in a bad manner on this subject. In short, it's a ripoff!

Everything is trickling out now as the initial release was ahead of the original date so you had longer to wait for all the other good stuff. More videos etc will follow soon. As well as footage of the car @ M-Festival and Goodwood. In the meantime some other M news is fast approaching on Thursday as well as a BMW M3 Concept Car (think Motorsport) which will be unveiled at the BMW Welt on July 15th.

SCOTT27,

What kinda M news? A whole new product? Or a package for the M5 or something of that sort? M7 would be a nice news story too!

Regards,

 

[martinbo]

SCOTT, we need in-depth technical information on the mechanicals (stats, dimensions, pics and so on) for an editorial feature. When and where will this information become available? If you could assist, please PM me.

It will be the special edition E90 M3 EVO which will sit between the standard M3 and the M3 GTS, for the production run out. Talked about here

Was just about to ask for a video..was youtubing for one earlier today

And whoa..i think im in love..
NO M car ever sounded this good..

Is this a joke ? This new turbo engine sounds simply awfull. So awfull infact that they used the old car's sound in the official promo(s). Look at 0:23:

 

[bum-man]

^ If that is the case it's incredibly sad and downright misleading.

 

[SCOTT27]

Actually that is the V8 you hear. There is no point in adding the sound from a superceded engine to emulate the note of a new engine.

Actually that is a V10 I hear and anybody who heard the e60 m5 in action can confirm it. And sure there is a point: to mislead people into thinking that an engine which obviously sounds like crap sounds like a naturally aspirated V10. And that, my friend, is no V10. And like I already said the muted V8 sound (which is the actual sound of the car at full throtle) can be heard just before that..

So you dont like the engine sound from AMG's and other muscle cars?

I dont know but I've only heard like 3 seconds from the production ready M5. It's too soon to call it awful.

Who said that ? How in the world did you come to the conclusion that if I don't like how this M5 sounds, I don't like how other "muscle cars" (lol) sound ?

I dont know but I've only heard like 3 seconds from the production ready M5. It's too soon to call it awful.

It's the same engine from the X5M, and I already know that sounds awfull. And even Chris Harris commented when he test drove the M5 that it lacks induction noise and didn't like the sound it made so..

 

[LaArtist]

Are you sure about that man? sounds abit deep to be a V10 to me..it would be a kick in the nutts if they used the old M5´s sound..
To me what i hear in the breif seconds of the video sounds great..
if thats the 10 or 8..god knows.. but we will find out veeeerrry soon what the real deal sounds like..
Hence further doubt as to why they would use a false sound

 

[klier]

I refuse to accept nonsense claims about BMW using the beautiful V10 sounds to fake and mislead people by adding it to the F10 M5 clip. No way any respectable company would do such a thing?

Because those 3 seconds I hear so far the new M5 sounds like AMG Mercedes with its deep base.

Chris also said that the engine sound was still under development.

Same engine as X5M yes bu there are ways to change the sound, like a different exhaust.

Sorry dude but you just sound upset because BMW are abandon N/a engines You are too quick to judge. I seriously doubt its going to sound awful.

This is the only sound we heard from the production ready car so far and its like 3 seconds.

LOL, I've read a lot of stuff at forums over the years, but this one takes the cake.
