BMW E60 M5 0-172mph on HUD @ Bruntingthorpe

[tnycman]

Great video, too bad it wasn't a sunny day..

[mquiroz90]

It looked slow at the end 61 and 53 mph looked fast than that

[Cronoswing]

My zx6r is faster lol

[boobsmakesmile]

@Cronoswing

yes but a spaceshuttle is faster lol

seriously compare stuff that's comparable.

Does a zx6r have a trunk ? can it carry 5 people ?

And in a car you don't have to dress up like a camp power ranger.

[megasimon999]

You run out of real estate real fast at that speed.

[cjdontthink2]

These M5s are insane!

[cavaderblood]

Actually technically this was 3-172 mph xD

[ToInfinity1]

how much did you pay to remove the limiter in ca automotive? and how much in the bmw factory?

[davidsunhun]

Don't you shift too late?

[lolsimon]

do HUD's come stock or aftermarket?

[nvidiaperformance]

that speed with that weather?? dude you have balls!!! LOL

[Mazda6B6]

" M5 E60, you car clear for take-off..."

[Chunkychucky]

nice car buddy and this just goes to show how bloody quick these things are!! In the dry, knowing how long the straight at Brunters is, you could maybe have been pushing 185/190... :D

[Kaipeternicolas]

By the way... i got it up to 207 mph ...

[Kaipeternicolas]

This car is just the best.... thanks for posting... shows me again what a great car I have ;-)

[ratodoesgato]

funy thing is a vid usually makes it look slower, n it still looked fast!

[jarejeremap]

Similar that you now will fly up like a plane

[bbigman2000]

Cracking Vid, thanks !! I know how hard it is to get traction in the E60, ive got an 07 M5 myself.

[benderingtime]

Nice vid! Good that you'r doing this on a airfield and not on the open road!

[tomhodgson77]

I thought these were limited to 155?

[scoopzuk]

BMW offer an expensive option to delimit the car from the factory but I had mine delimited by C A Automotive, that's the only deviation from stock and the reason I could excess 155.

[8MunchenBayern8]

did you have it in S6?

[scoopzuk]

I had it in S6 earlier in the day when it was a little drier and doing a few launches but because of the standing water and the fact S6 gives wheel slip from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd I played it safe and had it in P500S S5 MDM to the video above.

[skinnbone260]

it is, but if u take the computer chip out, u can hit 202 MpH

[Kaipeternicolas]

I got to 207 mph already in it and I had to brake because of another car... it would have gone over 210....

[skinnbone260]

yea well i said that 7 months ago. :D i was un aware of the pure power. :D

and and 100% stock?

[Kaipeternicolas]

Well not 100% but pretty much. Only got the DINAN Muffler and Software STAGE 1...

[skinnbone260]

hmmm. how much added horsepower you get?

AND OMG! I SAW MY FIRST 100% DINAN CAR! it was a bmw 3 series with all dinan parts! and then a week later i saw another one!

i live in a farm area. ;P with big houses and bently and ferraris everywhere, but still never seen one of those

[TheFreakINcontrol]

@tomhodgson77 They are capable of over 200mph ;)

[fiveodude]

Cool, I like color!! Does it do the radio stations, blinkers, NAV, G-meter, coolant and oil pressure like the Z06..??

[scoopzuk]

Thanks for the comment, from your list it only does Nav, unfortunately the BMW tech's haven't quite got round to linking it to the radio, coolant or oil gauges, looks like they've spent more time adding pretty colours...doh!

There's only two modes, normal and M-mode.

Normal = Large speed read out and sat nav directions. This is the only mode on non ///M models.

M-Mode = rpm, selected gear and speed as shown in the video. Only available on ///M models.

[scoopzuk]

In all modes you can also have warnings turned on or off. The warnings simply popup an icon for traction control off, fuel low, washers fluid low, oil low, outside temp <0°C, etc there is no option for a live coolant temp, oil temp, etc like the Z06.

As for the G-force meter....unfortunately there isn't one on any BMW at present so I have to resort to Dynolicios iPhone app or a vbox.

[ellija2]

nice one scoopz.
