Beautiful E23.

"...nice and torquey..." is not the BMW V10. You tested it with the manual, which is not how BMW intended it. The manual was for the US market, a major compromise for Americans that demand a 3rd pedal. The V10 and 7-speed SMG were designed as a pair to maximize the acceleration of the high-rpm...

Manual M5 doesn't have a chance. I think the 7-speed SMG would have taken it. 0-60 is about half a second difference per your friends at C&D. The 6-speed can't defeat DSC completely, so you were cutting power in first, if not second as well. I really like the Caddy, but a fair fight would be ...

Geez, the M5 driver was asleep at the start but still beat the Audi.

996. Let's see a 997 turbo against an M5. Anyway, good job for the M5. I have an '08 M5 so you know which team I support. I need four doors in my supercar lol.

@Grov22 he's either trying or not, but if he's getting that close to the M5 he must be trying. I have an '08 M5 these cars are underrated. On the highway they are very quick.

Do it again with DSC off, M mode, S6 P500S. Let''s see some smoke! I also have an M5 2008.

I have an M5 and these things (SMG) can do a major league burnuout. I see no burnout here but a rolling start.

AFAIK, the manual M5 can't fully defeat DSC. I'm also a big fan of manuals but bought the SMG M5 because I figured that's how BMW intended it. When I defeat DSC and hammer the throttle in M mode, S6 P500S , the burnout is outrageous, much more than than in this vid. I'm talking Streets of San F...

Sound like a V8 in the vid, but I see tachometer. I also have an M5, a 2008.

Can you tell me which bulbs you used? Maybe an ebay seller name? I've bought some different ones for the back of my M5 and just not happy with them. You got the look perfect.
