M5 competition

How Wiesmann GT MF5 can be slower on Nordschleife with same engine and much less weight? 7:52 by Auto Bild versus 7:52 by anonymous. Official lap time by Sport Auto is 8 min. 13 sec. I’m talking about stroked “1 of” M5 CSL with 570 hp. But stock M5 E60 will not be able to achieve such a result. 7:52 is faster than M5 F10 Competition. How????? Tell me, how???

Handles better than what? F10? That would be something if next generation M5 (or regular 5-series) handled worse than previous generation. That typically is never the case with any car.

It's simple, the E60 M5 was a factory time and was driven by a DTM race driver, the M5 Competition F10 was from Sport Auto.

Weight diffrence E60 lighter and little better track performance than f10
FastestLaps 3d ago @Wiwi
Maybe if you sort that E60 out with some light suspension mods and (obviously) modern tyres, it can become better track platform than F10. But I don't know. Usually newer cars tend to be much better handling.

Quote>"Dinan will take the 5.0L V10 that powers the "standard" M5/M6 and bore and stroke it to 5.7 liters. The end result is a legitimate road beast that cranks out 628 hp and 482 lb-ft. The additional hp under the bonnet of the Dinan M's still revs freely to 8100 RPM, and much of the torque is available as low as 3000 RPM."
5.7 LITRES!!! Just over the McLaren F1 power but slighlty less torque.
I can't quite remember but I'm sure this pushed the M5 over 200MPH!
They were simpler times...

ok not 220hp more but 200. Still being 14 seconds faster with 200hp less and narrower tires is amazing

Here is the link and the link to the BMW article whichs confirms the M5's 7:52 delimited time around the ring with Hans-Joachim Stuck behind the wheel... http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e60-m5-e61-m5-touring-discussion/323410-e60-m5-laps-ring-7-52-a.html

That 2007 M6 reaching 332Kph was also a Kelleners Racing M6 which did do a GPS Verified top speed of that, But that wasn't stock, No stock M5/M6 goes past 200Mph, The fastest TRUE GPS VERIFIED top speed of a M5/M6 is 194Mph, 315ph, Theres a SHITE LOAD of speedo videos, And everyone thinks there doing that, even some saying they did 211Mph and 215Mph lol Its true, Bmws are slippery.
But not slippery enuff to do 330Kph plus, Not with 500Bhp. However though, as far as the 194Mph time is concerned, I do not know if its its FULL top speed, or if there was room for more. But a lot of this 200Mph+ stuff is only based on a speedo video on Youtube, And those can be anywhere between 15-30kph off. Like these videos...ALL speedos without a single spec of proof.

As far as the CC V8S is concerned, 240Mph is only a "Claimed" top speed, No Koenigsegg has registered its claimed aerodynamic value tested, So I Highly doubt it would even go past 225Mph let alone 240Mph. Correct me if im wrong people.
saxy 11y ago
true, that was a speedo reading. There's a 2007 M6 video of 353kph speedo, 332 kph GPS verified. That had the same engine as the M5. 500HP.
You don't need 600hp to get to 200mph. The Koenigsegg CC8S has only 655hp and can go 240mph (of course it was made to be slippery and no downforce unlike other sports cars). in theory, in the same car you'd only need 380hp to reach 200mph.

327 kph in a E60? Downhill or with strong, hurrican-like tailwinds, only...
FastestLaps 11y ago
No way a stock E90 can do 327! I am talking real 327 on GPS, not whatever is indicated on speedo.
