Default New M5

M3 Evo gone, replaced with something a little bit more sensible for the family, with 440bhp:

Cheers.
BBS LMs are the best looking wheel on the M5 IMO, though I agree, the standard ones are pretty cool.
Absolute monster of a car, full Eisenmann race system, decats, blows away my M3, had a few quick cars, this is different class....and the kids love it
And I have averaged 20mpg, not hanging about either.

So your getting 40bhp from a full Eisenmann race system? I love the colour and I bet it sounds mint. but I think the original wheels look better IMHO.

Bear in mind that most of these don't make the stated standard power either - more like 370-380 bhp as standard so it won't be running 440 bhp without some serious mods. Still a bloody quick car in any case.

It does look evil - can I ask roughly how much? I have thought about one of these several times.

So what do people do to these engines for more power? Coming from a turbo world, it's easy.
But taking an already highly tuned factory NA engine and getting more from it is not easy and potentially very expensive.

eg. what was done to this one?

Hi Stu, i noticed a while back you moved my old M3 cab on
That M5 looks simply stunning pal. I had a moonstone blue one few years ago and loved it, but only had 6 mts before back in 4x4 turbo jap They just do exactly what it says on the tin, hope you have many miles of fun mate, cheers Scott.
When you sell give me a buzz

Monster beauty. Marvellous Who gives a stuff about the wheels. I can't see mine when I'm driving (keep quiet Hank ). And anyone who thinks they don't give power should try to follow one around the Ring. And it was four-up (Ring Taxi).

Give us clue on the deal Sulli.

I think you're being a little racially over sensitive my friend !!

fact in my home town of Luton the vast majority of my asian friends ( of which i have many ) Drive M3's M5's RS4's go for that style ie dark colour's dark windows fact !!

Nothing right wing or rascist about my comment

The same as German's putting redicoulously small wheels on golfs !!

Crazy swede's that tune the nuts off old Volvo's !!

Some people !!!
