styling looks like shit, last model prob the best but thats a sweet engine.

 

Growl.......................
Powertrain

* New 90-degree V-10 with 507 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque (European measure)

* One hundred horsepower per liter of displacement
* Double-VANOS variable valve timing
* Electronically controlled throttle butterfly for each cylinder
* MS S65 engine management system features most powerful processors currently approved for use in automobiles
* Seven-speed SMG transmission with steering wheel shift controls
* Twenty percent faster shifts compared with last-generation SMG
* Drivelogic with eleven program options that enable shift characteristics to be tailored to suit the driving situation and the mood—six of these programs can be selected in the sequential manual gearbox mode (S mode)

 

I'd hit it. Or the new M3. :boinkugh:

 

Oh yeah and IBTM

 

that reminds of this smiley

 

will have to grow on me like the 7 series...still don't like the others except the z4...my

 

Where is the move smiley....

 

I can't wait until more companies start using SMGs.

 

looks like ass, but i dont doubt its performance. Also look at that low torque figure compared to Horse power. Reminds me of an indy engine.

 

Or a Honda engine.

 

Where's the torque?

 

Yea seriously.. v10 383lbs of tq? Thats sad...


Other than that.. The car is gonna be AWESOME. 507hp and 7speed WOW.

 

just let me have the $75k for this beauty!

 

I suspect that most of the peak will be availble at all RPM values. That, combined with the 7 gears, can easily make up for a lower peak torque value.

 

Got to agree the last generation just looked better.

I'd still rock this though.

 

How can you people say it looks like ass???

Looks like very other new vehicle out there, including having some of the TL looks.

That focker is HOT!

 

I love it, but I’ll probably love the M6 even more since it will only have two doors.

Both have about the same chance of ever showing up parked in my garage though.

 

hot as hell!

 

The e39 m5 looks boxy and boring now.

I love this new M5 (interior is ok but i would still rock it)

 

wow! 7 speed smg? dayum.

 

yea 383 torque, doesnt sound like much, but its the way the torque is utilized, The 7 speed tranny, allows shorter gears, and more room for utilzing the low torque, during every shift, also the torque band is probably very stable through evry gear and rpm.

BMW's arent exactly torque monsters,, like benz, b/c they dont have forced induction, but either way this car is hella fast claimed stats such as 0-124 in 12 seconds, which is supercar territory, with a sedan is more then enough

 

One more thing I like the e39 the best, I think the last BMW to look good is the current e46 3 series, now the designs thanks to the ingenious bangle , are to flashy and futuristic, and are straying away from the bmw roots. BMW was always conservative but sleek when it came to looks, b/c they wanted to please the drive not the people outside of the car, and I hate this new path they have chosen
