Ah gotcha. We’re definitely talking past each other then, because I’m talking about weight not mattering to a car stopping in a shorter or longer distance, not how old I am. They’re not related, as the fact a car’s weight doesn’t matter to how well it brakes cares none about my age.

Last post from me on this…

Take your M2, mark a point on the road, hit the brakes exactly at that point and stop from 60mph. Mark where the car stopped.

Throw in three of your 200pd buddies (and toss one in the trunk if you like) and repeat the test.

You will take longer to stop.

Hopefully this is in terms you can understand.

This thing quite possible could weigh as much as an Escalade(5,635lbs).

G90 weighs 2435 or 5,357lbs. The G81 Touring added 85kg over the G80.

Using a conservtive 100kg added to M5, could be looking at 5,577lbs for M5 Touring. 58lbs from being an Escalade 6.2L.

Should be able to get a great deal on a low mileage one that's about 2 years old though.

If the prices track what the RS6 has done, I would be surprised if it’s not heavily marked up for a while.

Glad i put my name down with BMW for this when the rumor mill started a year ago.

The AWD M5 Touring will be a perfect stablemate for my F81!

I did same though some minor details remain…. Like price.

[sc_tr0jan_m3]

I'm tempted to drop a deposit to get on the list and assess as Q4 comes. I've been holding onto my low mileage F80 for something fun to trade into, and this might be it.

But if my spec ends up being closer to $150-170k, then might as well go GT3 shopping instead. :P

Top gear UK did this years ago although I can’t remember what car they used. I’m positive it was an economy car and not a performance type car. The results are what most of us would expect, a longer braking distance.

[NotSharocks]

The US roads are used to whales being on them, so this is no different.

Also, the RS6 will still look better and have a better interior this is a fact.

But cool.

Problem is this is also irrelevant.

A car with its original tires will take longer to stop when loaded.

The M5 doesn’t have the same tires a car 600lbs lighter does.

And if the next M5 didn’t weigh as much it would stop faster. They wouldn’t say, hey, it’s lighter so we can now put smaller brakes on this one. lol

You’re picking an interesting hill to die on here.

You’re right. I guess I’m just accepting cars have gotten heavier and thus their tires and brakes got larger too.

But we’re all talking in circles for sure, thanks for the heads up.

This will be amazing! When I graduate college, I plan to save and get one of these as the car! So excited!

Why do you want to get rid of pure sex?

[heymarkv]

Anyone who signed the petition to get a G80 touring for the US should be the first ones signing for an allocation for this.

Prove that you actually want a touring since it’s an extremely niche market for the car in today’s world.

[stormchaser]

Wagon owners are often outdoor enthusiasts, campers, or road trippers like me. I have rented wagons in Germany for 30 years. Now in the USA, they ONLY bring the M version over. Why do I want a wagon that is low to the ground and stiff on rougher roads. Bring a normal wagon over and I will buy it. Also not 6,000 pounds. I love the 3 wagon personally. Or bring over a normal 5 avant. We don't all want M sport.

You’re not providing any evidence on your claim.
You’re deflecting as opposed to providing an answer to why you’re right and the rest of us are wrong. Maybe instead of stating our opinions are wrong you can enlighten us?
