Nope. E60 M5 is nothing special, it traps about 115 mph in the 1/4 mile. My Vette is faster, and it's not a fast car by today's standards.

This car with over 500 at the wheels would absolutely WALK a stock E60 on the highway.

I am saying from experience not numbers
We have tried a supercharger e39 m5 with methanol vs e60 m5 stock here in Qatar
I tell you e60 m5 will take this one at highway.
Yes e39 m5 will keep up till 230 then bye bye.
E60 m5 was delimited so we max 330.

F10 not a better car mate and go ask what ever you want
F90 same engine maybe less problems but still same issue as f10.
Next m5 might be electric. Who knows how it will be .
The only true m5 came out is e34 ,, e39 ..and the hand down e60 m5 ..do not let forget the e28 m5.
And yes still e60 m5 better car of all of those.
And if you repeat the word trolls…will spank your ####

Wikipedia:

"In internet slang, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.), a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog), with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others' perception."

I'd like to hear your explanation of your posts if this was not your intent.

Thats my car!

After I saw the video I found the car too slow for my taste. I dynoed it and it only got 520 hp and 600nm of torque because of boostleak.

Now thats dealt with and the car puts now 587Hp and 700nm and feels a lot faster.

I also got an E60 M5. And the E39 is faster by a big margin. With the 520 is about the same.

I got them both and the E60 is not more enjoyable. The are complete different cars and both are fun to drive.

but the V10 with a good exhaust sounds epic!

I'm suspicious though, when someone claims 600 hp RWD and it dead hooks hard shifts into 2nd gear on cold damp roads. Maybe a lack of midrange torque from the centrifugal blower?

The wheels are about 10mm too far outboard in the rear. Makes it look rather immature.

Sorry to sound negative, but IMO it's difficult to mod a car like that without spoiling it. Changes should be very carefully considered, because the car is so right to begin with.

Because the bbk the car needs ssome spacers (i am not a fan of it).

See my other post: becasue of boostleak it only had 520 hp and 600 nm of tourque.
