HP=2*π*N*T... Horsepower is a derivative of Torque at a given engine speed... So all I care about is the torque!

I can't wait to tune this thing.
It's going to be in-fucking-credible. Duh, winning.

I wonder if the M5 will use the same criss-cross exhaust setup as the X5/X6 M models, which makes that awesome V8 sound like a Mini Cooper.

I wasn't saying I am sad that It has a low HP, some guy said that the F10M will have 150+ lbf more torque than the e60... so i just meant that HP or torque, the F10 M5 will do much better than the e60

I still really want one
Ok, if you have been in a 2011 550 that has only 400hp you will know that 560hp in that car is going to be ridiculous to say the least. Plus after you chip it and do a couple mods come on. The new 550 seems as if it could actually have with my x6m just from the weight difference. But who knows let's not speculate nor underestimate BMW ///M. Especially if you drive a BMW ///M of any kind you will know that the 2011 M5 can and will be a beast!

2006 E60 M5=507 hp 2012 F10 M5=560 hp So, the E60 M5 had over 100 hp more than the E39 M5, yet the F10 will get less than 60 more hp? I don't really like this trend...as Mercedes, Audi, and Caddy, Lexus are racketing up their hp and handling, BMW's M Division led by a marketing guy seem to have lost focus...I hope not...because if Lexus drops the 4.8 V10 from the LFA into the GS for the GS-F, not only will it make about the same hp, but it WILL sound better than what the M5 will possibly be presenting |

I do find it interesting that the majority of this thread involves comparisons between the CTS V and the M5. Sure the V is a good bang for the buck, highly tuneable and puts down some amazing times, but shouldn't the M5 be looking more at the Porsche? Imo, this class is about the E63/RS6/Pana TT while the V competes more in the M3/C63/ISF range. |

seems moving to turbos and new design just added too much weight to the car to break the 4 second mark. very dissapointing. only current M3 leads the competition.

The only way the new GS-F will "destroy" the M5 and E63, is accelerating out of control towards an M5 and an E63, given the Lexus' unique stuck throttle feature. |

Second, the GS F hasn't even been confirmed and there is zero chance that it will get the LF A engine if it does happen. |

As a multiple 5er owner, I am growing increasingly disappointed in everything BMW offers. They seem be focused on being a sales leader instead of building the ultimate driving machine and offering vehicles of superior quality. Sorry, but I have too many friends who have had nothing but apathy from BMW USA after the purchase of $65-100K vehicles. Sad. The Kool Aid is leaving a bitter taste and it may be time to leave the camp.
