Will Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Before you ask, yes i almost pissed my pantsNew BMW M5, with mods. Sounds like it has exhaust manifold, cat, and cat back upgrades...sounds like a ferrariThe good ole M buttonquite ugly..was hoping for some CF goodies under therePower, DCS, EDC..what do all these things mean?Now for some night shotsMy 2 favorite cars Here is the videos I took. Remember they are from a cell phone so sorry about the quality. Exhaustoh my god just listen to that exhaust noise!AccelerationTried to take a better one, but this is all I could do while handling a celly, keeping a hand on the wheel, and blipping the paddle shifter as well...its short, but you get the ideaif this is in the wrong forum, then please move it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGB Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I'm not a big fan of the styling of the current 5 series or the new M5.Nice car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lax01 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Power, DCS, EDC..what do all these things mean?Power changes it from 400 to 500 hp...maybe? I dunno actually cuz I though the ///M button did that...DCS is some form of traction control (I think), or maybe its the transmission settingsEDC is electronic dampening control for the suspension (I think)...its like the Advanced/Sport/Comfort settings in the S60RThe M5 is a ridiculous piece of technology...it has literally hundreds of settings you can change and tweak. And from the Idrive system I used when I test drove the new 5 series (not the M5), it was almost becomes a distraction when you're driving. With all that said, I'd drive an M5 everday if I had the chance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberV70 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Maybe its just the way the phone makes it sound..... but that exhaust sounds kind of annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenchunks Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 The power button is indeed the one that makes it go from 400-500 hp. I'm still getting used to the new style of 5 series, but I guess when you have that much car it can look like a moldy peanut, and it's still amazing. And as far as the settings go, yeah it may be annoying when you jsut wanna drive your friends car, but if it was yours, imagine how cool that would be, it would never get old.....You can always change things around, you have your settings, etc....

TorqueSteer Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 For the M5 fans, or haters, heres a beautiful vid of one on nitrous, at my local South Florida drag strip. Honestly, I am in love with the E39 M5, but I didn't like the new E60 M5's before seeing this vid, Ive seen a black one, and a light silvery blue one in my city so far and wasn't impressed, but seeing a 4 door sedan run like this, it completely changed my outlook. I am wondering if this is stock exhaust, for his exhaust mods, all he listed was that he removed the charcoal filters. http://www.dragtimes.com/2006-BMW-M5-Videos-7809.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
