  • To karlmalone11 yes I agree with you HP makes the car fast too but if you dont have the torque...This race is pure example to you E92 M3 420 hp 300 lb/ft Torque vs E39 M5 with ECU is ~415hp 370 lb/ft ! E92 has 7 speed CLOSE RATIO DKG sounds good haa. The M3 is even with the E39 M5 at the top end speed only because of the close ratio trany. E39 M5 is hevyier car and pulled the M3( I think with a lot). If E39 M5 uses Dinan a litle bit shorter Differential say GOOD bye to the M3 even at top end.

  • True and good point. 7 gears is metter than 6 gears at speed, just as the case with the Porsche 997 Turbo manual and tiptronic at speed.

  • Has the chiptuned M5 between 430-440 hp???

  • Not that much.

  • why the nmw M3 is slow?

    that is the fastest M3 ever made man.

    wow the M5 is very good and fassttt.

  • It was an M3 Convertible: 200 kg heavier.

  • e39!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! monster. that little japanies BS non bmw cant stick with the classic.

    and dong give bs excuses about the 4100lbs cuz thats also bs because the e39 still weighs more.

  • M5Board team: Do you have any videos of the Audi RS4 2.7 Bi-Turbo?

  • There is a video of an E92 Coupe racing the E39 with SS exhaust and it was pretty close.

    the E92 M3 is fast, they do have the advantage over the E39 in both weight and available gear ratio's, but it shows where torque really helps overcome everything else.

  • Close!

  • People talking out of their a** need to educate themselves. It is a convertible M3, which is a disgrace because it weighs more than the E39 M3 (4100 lbs for the convertible M3). It should not even exist, but somehow BMW decided to make one.

    A LOT lighter M3 sedan or coupe (they both weigh ~3600 lbs) would slap that E39 M3 silly without any shadow of a doubt.

  • This double clutch gearbox is so much better than the stupid SMG.

  • the m5 did have a slight lead at wen the race began...RE-RUN!!! unfair advantage is the conclusion!

  • The M3 DCT Vert is HEAVIER than the E39 M5 - 1905kg vs 1830kg (using EU unladen weight).
