It's very difficult to argue that this car is anything other than awesome!

they would test the cars individually for different stories in the respective magazines. Different drivers, maybe even a different car. I think Car & river fancy themselves faster.

It's because C&D does all kinds of dubious crap to get the numbers down (include 1 ft rollout, DA correction and so on...). Just give us real world dragy numbers under street conditions.

Is the next gen m5 for real coming out with 1000hp? That's already beyond the power a stage 2 f90 m5, I can't imagine how anyone can use that outside a track.

Ok he is an awful car reviewer. Basing a decision on where he personally drives, London area. Of that accounts for 0.00000000001 of the human population. Luckily I'm not one of them. Diggin my M5 in the US all day!!

I just finished doing rod bearings on the Z4M and have really enjoyed the amount of power it has (still not revving it out) and its sole purpose of just being fun.

The 2020 M5C is legitimately a 2.8 sec car in launch control on the street (6.7 to 100 mph). This was on a 60 degree day on dry concrete. The car chirped all four tires on the 1-2 shift. Sick acceleration / launch. It's hard to describe the mid range punch and on demand shove in the back at all speeds below 100. Agree that it lacks a bit of driver involvement, but it's a great business jet for the road.

What Carwow ran was without rollout. My JB4'd M5 ran 60 in 2.53s on pump gas. My M8 is 2.59. Stock really is capped around 2.9 so the Youtubers and mags incorporate rollout—brings in the views I guess but nonetheless impressive. Regardless, it's freakishly fast, fun, frowned-upon by minivan and Tesla drivers and fuckin' all the better for it. |
