The 5.5 is almost done. After the facelift S63 comes out, will probably go away. Once the current SL gives way to the next one, will be dead completely. The 4.0 is going to be the new main engine. Also - this engine can be tuned to a hell of a lot more than 603 hp.

...read up on what all those things cost to implement. And I’m not just talking dollars. Also talking space, weight, reliability.

Because it’s fun? Jesus, no one is forcing you to buy one and do it.

NVH & pedestrian safety regs. Get used to it. Honestly, how often are you going to stare at the engine. Also, honestly, under that cover is mostly intercoolers. Not much to look at.

Between this and the next M5....not sure what more you could need in a car. Truly amazing what you can get in a 3-box 4-door sedan.

Uh, yeah, no, that’s not at all how this works. They didn’t iron out any kinks...they just made it the same way for 20 years. I’m not aware of any car that gets completely replaced every 3 years. Average replacement time is actually going up. Also, you’re aware that for a while, many decades ago, some companies…

No, they can’t possibly. They’re literally impossible. Learn how to use the internet please. The heaviest 5 series ever is the F10 M5, at about 4,350 pounds. Please tell me how the new, lighter 5 series is between “4600 and 5000 pounds”

I literally feel like everyone who uses this site is blind, most days.

Nurburgring is funny, it’s not just a power track. With lots of grip, you can go very fast d/t lots of medium-high speed corners. Efficient use of power is key. Hence why an Aventador can be within a couple ticks of a 918.

EPS should get a lot better, I think once manufacturers figure it out, it should be fine. Latest Audis are literally completely numb at the helm.

...I mean...what do you want me to say? Subjectively, to me, yes.

If this comes with requisite handling & braking improvements, could be really cool. The one thing this car really needs is better go + stop. Power is obviously more than adequate. Of course the chassis is old as shit now...

Jesus, you must lead a boring life.

In german the differences between supercharger and turbocharger aren’t quite the same as they are in English.

There is little/no phonetical difference between the pronunciation of those two words. Why are you so angry.

Amazing how someone always reaches to make something political....

Pretty sure they know more than you about the cars they build.

Hardly. BMWs are still the most communicative cars in their class by a mile. Saying “it’s the worst” is ridiculous to anyone who drives anything besides, well, an S2000 or an old Miata.

Do you have a functioning computer? You must, since you typed this. Besides those numbers not even making sense, you could easily go locate the weight of a 5 Series. G30 will be upper 3000s for most models.

Uh, no 5 series, or really any BMW sedan for that matter, has ever been “over 5000 pounds” - Jesus christ. The average G30 will probably be right around 3800 pounds.
