    EVO tests the new M5 (scans)

    Nice preview of the M5 by EVO.
    Looks like the M5 is the ultimate pertformance/confort compromise with its 7-speed SMG, different suspension dampning settings, MDrive facility for quick SMG-throttle-dampning-DSC setting setups, large cabin and trunk space, 8300RPM reving 500HP N/A-V10 engine, etc.

    "...a local E46-M3 driver pulls alongside. His wife wears the long-suffering expression of a woman tires of her husband's auto obsessions, but he is almost frothing at the mouth with excitement. Poring over the M5 like man possessed, he soon got his digital camera out. "Zis vil be my nest car!" he says with pride."
    Very funny

    I had to reduce them to be able to post them but here are the scans, courtesy of JabbasWorld:

    Great stuff Carlos! Thank you.

    I just love the way Evo critisize BMW for not installing ceramic brakes on the M5....

    Has anyone found out why the side rear view mirrors are half black ?

    My guess is that there are turn signals in them.

    Adds five more horsepower

    Re: EVO tests the new M5 (scans)

    Thx for posting. BMW prob pays these magazines well to avoid mention of Bimmer's alleged problems w/M3 engines....of course, Bimmer prob claims it's solved all these potential problems for this more complex engine.....that's why they didn't have time to engineer real brakes for the M5....

    Re: EVO tests the new M5 (scans)

    Thanx Carlos!

    Great write up, good to see a journalist with a sense of humour:

    "The sheer savegery of the launch takes me completely by surprise. A split-second before unleashing the M5 I intended to glance across at Morgan and say, 'This should be a laugh,' but my head's smacked into the headrest before I've uttered anymore than 'Thi...'

    Re: EVO tests the new M5 (scans)

    I found this to be the most interesting in the article:

    "Although no-one has actually asked the question, BMW is telling anyone who'll listen that there are no plans for a Touring version just yet. So expect to see one in the next 18 months...."

    It's just a design feature to distinguish it from the other models.
