Why is it that every video of this sort has to use up about half of it just to show a title and other garbage that we're not interested in. I mean this one has the first half of the video taken up by credits and then it cuts off about 5 seconds after the "real" race starts.

Ugh.

There are quite a few E60 M5 videos floating around on that site. I love the note it gives out at WOT.

It looks to me like the M5 put 1 1/2 car length's from the M5's rear bumper to the E55's front bumper.

I'll use "walked like nothing" for 5+ car lengths.

When does the new M5 arrive in the US or is it already here?

Why the fuck are you posting this in the Georgia section? It doesn't belong here, post it in general discussion or off topic.

Hell man, at least it's car/BMW related.
Half the threads on this forums aren't even as close as this one to BMWs.

The E55 topped out by the way. My mom has the E55 and its a great car. Keep in mind its an automatic and its racing a german car that probably hasnt been set to american specs. Personally I drive an E46 M3 and love the E55. I bet you from a dig the E55 would run the M5 because it will not downshift too much where it would have tremendous torque. The E55 puts out 469hp and 516lb/ft of torque and thats more than the M5 if I am correct.

ya and in that 5 second video the M5 put a CL 1/2 on the e55, imagine by the end of the race....PLUS the M5 had to do some catch-up
