    About picture 5: the brakes look pretty small for that kind of car, don't they?

    The picture shows the rear wheel.
    I'd say this is at least a 330 mm disc on the rear which is pretty large for such a car.
    Front discs should have at least 360 mm.

    Still looks like typical (for BMW) 1-piston steel caliper though

    Of course it's the rear wheel!
    The disc is ok, but what about that tiny caliper?...

    I guess the size of the rear caliper doesn't really matter as long as it's operating at its optimal capacity. Love to see a photo of the front caliper.

    Me likey this car very much already!!!

    There is only one problem with the new M5, no matter how powerful it will be: no speed limit raise available, top speed is still limited at 250 kph.

    I drove at 309 kph (E55 AMG speedo reading) top speed for about 2-3 minutes without interruption on an empty Autobahn a few days ago. You should have seen the face of that 996 Targa driver at the fuel station, I passed him a few minutes before we met at top speed and he was driving top speed too.
    I gave him Rennteam's web address, he promised to join us.
