LATEST CAR NEWS - The new BMW M5 promises tremendous power reserves and pressing a button each desired behaviour. Meets all expectations of the Bavarian high-tech sedan?
Only rattle and then cold valves, ringing a five-litre unit at 8,000 rpm screams the movement together, bites on gas command to such an evil mood Cobra, and courses such as with the sledge hammer to pop into cast. Just a rumour would be a pagan third, the 507 HP v10 as organized, where he draws by the way still fuel as the litre koste Super 1,10 EUR, and global warming.
She was also, because what strumming so enthemmt on the automotive keyboard of emotion is a BMW M5 of built 2004. It was built at the height of the sports striving as probably the wildest kidney grill of the modern era. BMW was a kind of paradox in the zehnzylindrigen formula 1, the term of efficient dynamics, and car fans were allowed to please help us still quite unökologisch a pipe in the stomach at the burn happening.
BMW M5 again with eight cylinders
He was certainly not perfect, but it glowed in driving like a Turbo at full load. Just placing the most radical break in the BMW M5 history now. Six, eight, ten were the cylinders themselves so far over the suction cup generations upwards. When the new, only eight, but struggle with loader. As frantic fans moan on: an end to high speed, no more wild speech, and in conclusion with funny?
Depends on how one defines fun. We analyze the nutritional value of first before we eat the steak: 560 HP and 680 nm of a 4, 4 litre V8 block. The 1.924 kilograms of the BMW are pushed to front rear driven M5 after. This makes 3.4 kg / HP, as much as in an Aston Martin DBS. Now, high performance with a Turbo is not art. It is crucial to educate the frenzied shovels of to harmonious and spontaneous speech. So the exhaust gas of a BMW specialty, a cylinder bank cross-manifold streaming, on two identical short distances to the two Twinscroll Superchargers (sitting in the 90-degree V). Inlet side the mixture is pulverized then by direct-injection solenoid valve injectors with 200 bar, while Valvetronic fully variable and especially freely breathe the valves.
In four seconds on 100 things
And now I verspeis: make the switching speed of the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission to the highest level of S3, ESP away click and step on the accelerator. Then, nothing happens a few dog first else customers because clutch and an active limited slip differential gather before the neck muscle attempts to keep the head from the impact with the posh White Leather sports seats. That fails gloriously, and after four seconds is the BMW M5 at 100 km/h - 0.7 seconds faster than its predecessor not truly slow. Again 8.6 seconds later the pointer crosses the 200 mark, and the old man is already 2.2 seconds behind. With drivers package (2,450 euros) stop the needle even on 305 instead of 250 things.
Sober natures find him thus in Porsche 911 Turbo dimensions, emotional shouting something more like "jihaaaa". Thrust and force of the BMW rotating about 7,000 tours M5 seem to flow from idle speed from an inexhaustible source, and it is immaterial that she needs always a bit until it bubbles properly. The acoustics, however, distances itself from the spectacle of acceleration. Not only that she partially artificially played by the stereo it brabbelt and roars while fiery and ambitious, but gently insulated, so that the real feel of the true speed couples off himself.
Nimble like a mini through the slalom
What sounds harmless, manifests a fundamental problem of many current power cars. Must go faster, subjective as it used to create the same feeling of dynamics. Help bring the excellent, streamlined in the new BMW M5 and facilitated (aluminium components for all carrier and handlebars) chassis and the 295er tires. So, the too heavy for a sportsman 1, 9-ton with around 66 km/h fast as a mini masters the slalom.
Gently, the back of the BMW M5 with ESP switched on when changing the load after urges outside. In the much faster ISO alternative test he sets on the Carrera Guild. Although subjectively quiet and neutral than the jagged, predecessor, lighter 90 kg of large transverse momentum jump remains from metrologically - at least with enabled stability control. Sensitive drivers feel a subtle understeer tendency of slightly front-heavy (52: 48) BMW M5 despite the very precise hydraulic steering with variable translation and the Adaptive dampers. Accordingly, traction is only moderately especially in wet conditions.
But it will play: man is suddenly the spores 560 V8 horses under steering angle. You then go with the perfume of smoking tires off in drifters Wonderland. The hard-hitting slats of locking differential do rest, to bring a broad side step to the rear. Direct steering and the long wheelbase of BMW help by fast give against yaw moment calm M5.
BMW M5 can now also sensitively feather
You can align but little against it, that the otherwise fast and accurate DCT gearbox ZF in shunting and urban use (course one and two) uncomfortable turnips - similar to how the sequentially shifting old. Was indeed a pioneer of configurable driver behaviour, almost 300 variants were counted. The new BMW M5 clicks similar to: the pilot through the Steering, drive, and damping characteristics SURFs over three buttons. So, if you buy two cars: in sport plus mode, a sports car in comfort with arg strict ESP reins one extremely strong 550i. Because what the M3 submits, the BMW M5 can now also: sensitively feather. However, wooden rolling off and Dröhnen noise disturb the harmony braking.
The hot Bavarian potato stops quickly and free of fading. At the traffic lights, even the engine is due to start stop. A somewhat childish Zeitgeist consequence case of such machinery. But it puts the market drops, probably the the minimum consumption less than ten litres / 100 km press. Dynamic flow 14.5 litres and increase so that the reach of the greedy old 134 to 551 kilometers - that is one in a BMW M5. No wonder he can stroll at 180 km/h in seventh gear with 2,900 tours such as a large diesel.
How was the now still with funny? Yes, as regards savagery, speech and sound, was the old. The new is better and much faster.
