Re: New BMW 550i test results
Whether or not the weight is noticable, I question BMW's thought process. The 5 series is getting bigger but its interior room isn't? It weighs almost 200kg more than an E550!
However, one can't dispute its performance, which is remarkable. I've managed to pull two reviews of the M5, which posted 0-60mph of 4.7s.
Quarter mile times varied from 13.0 to 13.1 seconds. Basically the equal of the new 550i (13.14s). Obviously, it won't have the high speed (120mph+) performance of the M5, but it will be fast (even faster) in 60-120mph roll-ons. Which are more usefull in North America, where higher speeds are rarely possible - without losing ones licence.
The new M5 will be a very fast indeed.
