And just like the M3 it falls on its face after 60mph. These cars are bad ass though.. 12 seconds seems slow for $100,000.00 No matter what way you slice it. |

Whoa nelly, the new M3 costs $92,000!
2013 BMW M5 http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...ad-test-review For only being 1 sec. slower, two SS's or two 5.0 pony cars would do nicely ... thank you very much.

An M5 falling on it's face after 60 mph? . If you have no clue about what your talking about please refrain from posting. The E60 and F10 M5 are both 200 mph cars. The E60 M5 is actually faster than the CTS-V after 120..no telling what the F10 would do.

Anyone that says a M5 or even a AMG falls on its face after 60 has NEVER raced one from a roll.

SAE rating system is the minimum rating any tested production engine in the series will have. Seems to me this means production engines will have more than the stated minimum to avoid litigation - such that appended to Ford a while back.

At any rate ... does BMW even use the SAE power ratings for their cars? Manufacturers are under no obligation to use it & can follow their own test procedures if they want to. They just can't say 'with an SAE certified XXX hp' when talking about their cars
