I'm not sure why anyone over the age of 18 would even want to drift a car like that. Seriously, what's the point? All you're doing is wasting tires. What's next? A burnout competition? See how long it takes to pop the rear tires by burning them down to the rims?
Dear Autocar, this is the dumbest question, about this car, imaginable. Your cameraman couldn't even hold the camera steady while sitting in the passenger seat... production value = zero
I think you guys should stick to print because too many of your videos really... well... SUCK!
@ocdaddvids Its better than spending $220,000 for a 30 second commercial... at least this video does a showcase on what the M5 is capable of doing and will please the biggest fanatics, and can have unlimited views. $220,000 vs $700 worth of tires, yeah... think about it :]
come on guys a BMW M5 and you ask yourself 'will it drift?' that's like you ask a bitch does she know how to fuck...she knows that better than anything..
I don't understand why a twin turbo V8, then in that case it should have at least just over 600HP just 50HP more than the previous V10 engine that screams unreliability of all sorts after about 70thousand miles. I prefer the V10 it's a much more balanced engine and true piston power no steroids. I would love to see the E60 V10 on the E39 M5 that would truly be amazing. I think the V10 in the E60 is a much better engine than the V8 in the E39 but without sport mode just straight MPower.
Just moved back after 3 years in Berlin. The humour was sarcastic but not in an intelligent or belly laughing way (unless you enjoy ridiculing others without their participation or someone in physical pain and misfortune), and the general humour was very childish and predictable. That said there were a couple who had a good sense of humour and got the subtlety of our jokes. Leave the fun to us Brits ;-)
I dunno, I feel kind of bad for the car. It sounds like the tires are pretty darn good and the surface very grippy and rough which is not really something I would want when drifting.
If decided one day to go have some fun drifting Id put on some shit*y tires or I would find some slippery asphalt, which is not difficult to find.
So often I find automoto journalists dont really care how they treat car. Oh, its not mine, Ill trash it. Thats just primitive behaviour.
@ArchAngelPayne I agree, but what can you expect from the UK? This sort of crap is like people having to wank over some picture rather than do the real thing. I'd never buy a car like that & look for a car park or disused airfield to then just go around in circles destroying the rear tyres in 1 minute. It's so pathetic. Even though I'm a Brit myself I can't stand the UK in that regard. Living here in Germany I get to do the real thing every day. 260+kph on the Autobahn, legally.
@xlmp96 ok, so it's fun. Yep, you're right, all a question of taste. But look, forgive me, but this is another thing we (in UK) do... you assume there is no humour here... but do you speak the language? Possibly not. I do. Fluently. And guess what; if you speak and understand the language, you understand the humour. And they have it here alright. It's bitingly sarcastic and can be extremely funny, though sometimes a bit complex. It all depends on what one considers to be humorous. :)
what kindove question is this its like saying if u turn your steering wheel right will it turn right? Wtf!? its a bmw 2 its 5 series 3 its fucking M5!
Sure it handles beautifully but it's still ugly (as are all current BMW's) and sounds even more like a washing machine than the GTR...and a near two tonne weight in a mid size saloon is just not acceptable anymore no matter how well it may disguise it
@SuperSixinches the cars they use are demo cars not rental cars, sometimes if they are testing cars that have very limited numbers, they use that same demo car for almost every other car show in UK..and they will sell all these demo cars
good points: you dont have to be in the waiting list, Really cheap,
bad points: might have a few scratches, unable select your options, if it breaks down, your on your own..
@910127 well, it is 4200lbs of car. Making a suspension to get no roll from a 4200lbs car, would mean just putting it on cedar blocks. It's too heavy to not roll, while still being driveable. Don't forget this is not a ZR1 but a M5, it's a blend of sports and luxury.
@develish16 it's him, with sunglasses. they don't need a stunt double it isn't a very hard thing to do, and we can clearly see him doing it from the inside view.
@develish16 Have you also noticed in that shot the cameraman isn't in the passenger seat and its a different time of day? OMG!!...Its sundown and he wanted his sunglasses on, get over it.
