I test drove one, and might have bought it if it was a bit comfier and didn't wheelspin so much. Even driving normally it just wants to screw the rear tyres up, but it's a great little car. Handles beautifully too.

[@ItzD3fW1sH]

@@ApothecaryTerry I'd have said the complete opposite. It's a very comfortable excellent daily, with actually very good mpg. Handling is its weak point and tbh it doesn't want to wheel spin everywhere with Michelin Pilot super sports or ps4 on. Maybe the one you tried had shitty run flats

[@myporscheadventures]

ItzD3fW1sH totally agree

[@ApothecaryTerry]

@@ItzD3fW1sH I guess comfort depends what you compare it to- vs an RS3 it's much better, vs a GS450h it's much worse. The tyres probably were bad true, but the throttle is twitchy- usually that means precise which is good, but it did seem tricky to drive slowly (maybe just psychologically!). I didn't find handling a weak point at all though, not sure about track performance but it was easy to control and great fun, much better than the previous gen 3 or 5 series imo.

[@lewisratford2908]

George Turl Agree. I ran a M135i for a while and they are a lot quicker than people think. Although mine had 320 bhp I don’t understand why people think you can just boot it everywhere and not have a few traction issues.

Omg the m140i with the 2 door in blue is perfect spec with those rims

[@15DEAN1995]

Good god the engine note of the v10 m5 is biblical. I still get nostalgia watching the old top gear clips of it.

[@ApothecaryTerry]

If I can ever afford to repair it, I'm buying an E60. Edit: Or an RS6 with the V10 in that, any V10 honestly.

[@deltaruin5941]

RS6 sedan imo better

[@bananahammock3664]

@@deltaruin5941 I had the RS6 estate, and it cost thousands in repairs. Fucking oil leaks meant the engine had to come out twice. Very quiet when standard, handling isn't great at all, but they are very quick in a straight line. Around 700bhp when remapped too I believe. I have an m140i now though and it's much quicker than the RS6, and much more fun to drive.

[@ApothecaryTerry]

Any V10 is unreliable, shame cos they're epic. I looked at an M140i, very nice but wasn't comfy enough for me (mostly motorway driving) so I bought a GS450h which is a total beast. Not much cornering grip, although great balance, but down a slip road it's ridiculous- plus it looks like a really slow car. Shame it doesn't launch though.

Love the E60 M5 5.0l v10 b50 engine block, it's not a car with drag performance, it's a car with passion and character.

[@user-xl7fn9zf6b]

This was a great video seeing a m140i in action and some other really good cars,this car selection was good

[@st_f0lk582]

he was using 400hp and slow mode shift in m5 e60. I have a stock m6 e63 (same engine) and it can do 1/4mile 12.1 secs with launch control, 507hp, dsc desactivated and 6 mode smg

here it would have done 11.5-11.8 cause its downhill

That V10 sounds beautiful😩

[@romanistalazialle1081]

From me the sound is more important that who will be 1 meter in front on a 1km straight line ;) the v10 have it all

[@paulharper4196]

I agree. But I love the aggressive sound of a v8. That link is to a video of my old E39 m5 with no rear mufflers on it. Oh the noise. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4DQfnmYpZKFbac

[@migsy1717]

Some people have done dct swaps off e90 m3's but its a lot of work and money

[@kennethroberts8366]

Surely there is somebody, ( after market ) starting to try to mate that 8 speed wet clutch ZF gearbox to that Engine ?? I realise that the trickle down effect of finding wrecked cars with that ZF gearbox is starting to happen. Or are the ratios totally wrong ?

[@peterhammer6915]

@Richard Seffer DCT horrible wtf?? My third car with DCT now and its just keeps getting better. Much more raw feeling than torque converter like F90. Best transmission ever.

[@jameswingrove7421]

Love the V10...the 8 series is a beautiful looking machine. But a £30k hot hatch held it’s own admirably against what is a 500 horse power monster. That is incredible.

[@ClintWestmetal88]

This shows 2 clear things to me- 1. Just how outright fast the M5 still is when given the room to get right up the speedo. 2. Just how closely matched quick cars tend to be until approaching triple digits.

[@EightyFiveHundred]

@carwow why didn’t you press the ///m button? @1:25 the m button is not lit on the dash - were you were in 400hp mode?

[@johnjackson12]

I was very surprised with the m140i on a roll. It held he m5 far longer than I thought. Maybe helped by a shorter gear?

[@ooskah]

I have a feeling he didn't have the M5 in M mode, or didn't push the 'POWER' Button, which limits him to 400hp

[@sciencefollowstheevidence11]

@@ooskah this also m5 was in wrong gear.should have been in 2nd gear at 50mph

[@bambychoi9366]

[@nickjp2287]

That V10 engine combined with that exhaust in my opinion is the best sounding M car ever made. I have a neighbor with the same M5 & bone stock that beast sounds bad ass !

[@user-xy2pj5nv5g]

The E60 M5 has the dopest sounding engine ever 🔥🔥🔥

[@Biggus_Dickus_69]

Well as an owner of an E60 M5 for over 2 years and spending ZERO on it for maintenance apart from servicing...I'd say they're as reliable as any other car I've owned. But hey I'm just an owner...Doug Demuro obviously knows better than an owner :/

[@ewanstewart8011]

I think we need more drone footage especially for the brake testing part!!!

[@UndeadCrook]

Just one thing to point out, the m5 isn't an AUTO. It is SMG - Sequential MANUAL Gearbox. It just hurt the bmw guy inside me when you said auto :D

[@freddie5349]

You should do v10 RS6 vs v10 M5

[@victormanin2074]

add an e55 as well so it is a full AMG vs RS vs M

[@ScottZ370]

The E63 AMG of that generation is always so forgotten

[@1240Dax]

Fun test but the M5 doesn't stand a chance acceleration wise, RWD and less power than the C6.

[@Smithy1789]

Yes!! I’d love to see that race. 😎👌🏻

[@vucela5420]

[@terrykal3026]

Very nice comparison. In what regards the braking test, the whole system's performance depends in how well maintained the individual parts of the system since we are comparing new registered cars with a 10plate car.
