My buddy who has a Cl63 is going to come on my lunch tomorrow to have a little heads up competition with me....

Thats who my plate was aimed at, ill report back haha.
 
i will be awaiting the results of the shoot out. I think that the M5 has more potential and at it cheaper price than the black series I think for the same money you could make the M5 in the same boat performance wise and still be able to put four adults in there.

Just curious were any of the M5's twin turbo v-10's or were all of them NA bc I have heard both sides of it.

Both the cars claim to be 0-60 in under 4.5 sec. I think my buddy paid about 120+ for his CL63, and I paid 91 for mine (98K MSRP), he had to pay full MSRP since it was a new model.

M5s only have one engine and thats a 5.0L V10. Rumor is that the new F10 M5 coming in 2010-11 (I already have my name on the list!) may have a biturbo.
 
alright bc we had one guy come over to the house in his new M5 telling us that it was twin turbo and that the M mode switch turned on the turbos. This is a guy with more money than sense and it took him about 5 minutes just to figure out how to open the damn hood. After he left I told everyone there what a toolbag he was haha. Does Dinan or anyone make a turbo kit for the M5 if so I think you should sell your wifes car, buy her a new KIA and than dump the rest into making the M5 the fastest grocery getter on the block.
 
Dont know about that, but I dont know why anyone would want more power than the 500HP that this sucker already has. I dont know what to do with this already.......
 
I just looked at the Dinan site and it looks like for the older 06's they had a ECU upgrade thing, ten TB's and exhaust.

I cant believe these things have ten freaking throttle bodies, I thought I was cool when I upgraded my one. I will say that dinan stuff is $$$$$$.

even the ///M3's have ITB's..im wondering if the 550 n such have em also...but i knew the m3's had itb's in the past as well

as far as the twin turbo...the only twin turbo i know is the 335 and tahts suppose to give the 'old' m3's a run for their money

however the new m3's thats obviously going to be better

/m6 vs /m5 since they have the same motor...the m6 blows the m5 out the water since its smaller lighter and has CF
 
Cool plates FMINUS....glad it didnt say EVO WHO....

And lets hear how the shoot out with the AMG goes..
 
The AMG has a V12 bi turbo right? With 612 bhp?

No BMWs have ITBs except the Ms, and M6 is just as fast off the line, the only advantage the 6 has is lighter weight and lower center of gravity. The overall difference is not that big.

It's a 63, so it's a 6.2ltr 525hp NA V8 engine. The 65 has the TT12.

Yep V8...

Verdict is that they are pretty much even, but the SMG3 seems to change quicker than the Benz version. Every time I would change gear, the M5 would inch a little more. But over all its around the same with a slight, and I mean slight edge to the M.
