I'm so in love in my M6 E63 and those kicks in your head from the SMG 🥰

Go get the S85, prices will sky rocket soon.

Amazing car, but it'll be pretty much even from a stop even if it were a brand new E60 with a competent driver. I'm sure the E60 starts to pull ahead at very high speeds.

Both from MotorTrend:

2009 E60 M5 (manual): 12.7 sec @ 114.1 mph
2021 M440i: 12.6 sec @ 110.2 mph

There is something wrong with that car or he doesn't have P500 on, because 13.6 seconds as in the video is not good at all.

The 440 is faster.

SMGIII actually shifts very quickly but brutally which won't have help in those conditions 60-80ms if I recall correctly in the fastest setting
Yeah, it seems that in 80% of the CarWow videos it is either raining or just finished raining and the track is all wet. I hate carwow because of that.

True. The other apparent fact is that the M5 appears much more popular.

That's because in the UK it's either just rained, is raining or is about to start again.

I like Matt he's a real enthusiast but for f***s sake if he doesn't cut those intros down. They used to be 45 seconds now I just hard skip 2 minutes because it's him wasting time or plugging car wow. Either way I like his drag race set up

Whoever was driving that M5 sucks. I had one in 2008-2010 and at the top of the rev range, it will hang with some of the best cars. Back then we went to Montreal Grand Prix and hauled ass from NYC to Canada. On the way up there were numerous Gallardos and F430's we had lots of roll races on the way up. None of them could get away from my car, the top end of the S85/E60 is one of be greatest.
