The Power of Ten

Why we love the E60, a tribute to the outgoing M5

con3081 · 04-17-2012, 07:44 PM

Great Video!

rjd598 · 04-17-2012, 07:52 PM

this was an OK review. i wont go into what i didnt like about it but to say the least it didnt live up to a "tribute" video. chris harris or even jeremy clarkson should have done a real tribute video to the v10 while also including the m6

WERKE · 04-17-2012, 07:56 PM

Love it, this car Will be a classic for sure.

1MOREMOD · 04-17-2012, 08:00 PM

yeah is kinda sad. the s65 and s85 are epic.

IFX · 04-17-2012, 08:18 PM

I definitely agree with her comments about SMG, most hate it.. But i absolutely loved the manual feeling it had. You can definitely bang through gears and still get the slight jerk like a manual.

Obviously not as fast as DCT, but way more engaging.

looked like she was genuinely nervous when she punched the throttle. nice video

Pretty cool video. Such a sweet sounding engine!

Lol @ "torques"

Nice boobs though

paradocs98 · 04-18-2012, 02:43 AM

Reminds me of the one thing I miss about the E60 M5 vs. our M3s--the unbelievable acceleration from high speeds. I won't miss the 8mpg I was getting around town, though, or the quart of Castrol TWS I was having to add every 1000 miles. Or the anticipated maintenance and service costs once out of warranty...

She is absolutely right about race-bred, high-revving naturally aspirated engines being a dying breed, largely because of the MPG issue above. They sure are special, though, and I think a lot of soul will be lost when the M3 goes forced induction. Let's hold on to our S65s, boys and girls.

THE TECH · 04-18-2012, 08:34 AM

Nice composition.

regensburg94 · 04-18-2012, 10:00 AM

"383 torques"? Since when is torque a unit of measurement?

checkmate · 04-18-2012, 10:26 AM

I won't miss the E60 generation but that engine was epic..just wish that S85 was wrapped around a better looking body and of course with DCT. Long Live the E60 M5.

I'm pretty sure I've heard Jeremy Clarkson use the term "torques" on more than one occasion...just saying.

Cool video none the less.

cr2596 · 04-18-2012, 05:57 PM

All that video made me want to do is buy an E90 M3 6-speed. Weird.
