Speedfreak 05-06-2005, 02:09 PM M5 :buttrock
E34nication 05-06-2005, 02:27 PM awesome vid.
wolverine 05-06-2005, 03:14 PM that M5 had 3 people in it, vs one person in the E55. That's an extra 350 lbs!
MGregski 05-06-2005, 03:23 PM that M5 had 3 people in it, vs one person in the E55. That's an extra 350 lbs!
Yup, forgot to mention that.
Very cool. And the car sounds awesome.
FASN8N 05-06-2005, 04:12 PM I love BMW and think the new M5 will be a great car, but I also have an affinity for the E55. Unfortunately the E55 has a leg up due to the S/C motor which takes very little to modify to unleash hp. The E55 is only a blower pulley & computer chip away from waxing the M5 :( I would suspect the NA V-10 in the M5 is on the verge and gaining additional HP will cost $$$$$$$$$$$!
I never thought I would see the day where you could buy a 500hp sedan as a daily driver...

So sad that it's true :(
MsticAzn 05-06-2005, 04:43 PM downloading it now =P :)
MRonan 05-06-2005, 05:48 PM Yeah, but put a few PSI through the M5 and say bye bye to the AMG with a pully and chip.
MaloventEvil 05-06-2005, 05:52 PM holy shit.
E34nication 05-06-2005, 05:53 PM Yeah, but put a few PSI through the M5 and say bye bye to the AMG with a pully and chip.
unfortunately that few psi will probably run at least 20k.
ArcaneParadise 05-06-2005, 05:59 PM A pulley, chip, intake, exhaust Cobra would have easily flew passed both of them.
Dwayne 05-06-2005, 06:02 PM A pulley, chip, intake, exhaust Cobra would have easily flew passed both of them.And at the end of the day you're still driving home in a Ford. Except you'll have your ass handed to you in the twisties.
What's your point? Why compare a stock car to a modified car?
cleoent 05-06-2005, 06:05 PM wow that was the sexiest race i've ever seen... awesome :buttrock

MsticAzn 05-06-2005, 07:37 PM nice race :redspot
dinans3m3 05-06-2005, 08:05 PM hey its only a matter of time till BMW unleashes something new. Always gotta remember M's techs are always ahead of AMG techs. My friend upgraded his e55 via Renntech but motor went bye-bye after 8 hard runs, luckily Merc covered due to Renntech warranty. Mercedes are now complete nightmares too many damn computer problems. Only one i can say really impressed me was the Sl55, have not yet been in the Sl65 but i can imagine how fast it is.
A e39 blown M5 will outrun its counterpart E55 blown anyday so theres no real comparison when dealing with SC
jimmyz2 05-06-2005, 08:08 PM Like the outcome of that video.And just an after thought,MBZ has stopped making S/C cars(after this year).They are going the BMW route with bigger displacement and also turbo's.
dinans3m3 05-06-2005, 08:09 PM you gotta remember the new E55 was meant to beat the E39 M5 but it doesnt compare to the new M5.
Ingenere 05-06-2005, 09:52 PM that M5 had 3 people in it, vs one person in the E55. That's an extra 350 lbs!
If they were Americans...there would have been a 600 pound disadvantage! :)
jimmyz2 05-07-2005, 12:53 AM If they were Americans...there would have been a 600 pound disadvantage! :)

Such a stereotype :D
MaloventEvil 05-07-2005, 02:50 AM you're gay

MaloventEvil 05-07-2005, 02:52 AM Such a stereotype :D
a true stereotype. :rofl
just look at olek!
Johnny 5 05-07-2005, 10:26 AM Ya know that MB is working on an E65 AMG, right? Brabus already sells these cars. But running through corners at 8000 plus rpm's is a lot more fun.
