Shame I beat you too it did not say twin though

So you only got it half right

 

[thepharcyde]

So... you didn't beat me to it then

'charged' PS you cheated as you had seen it before

 

[paradigm]

Means it has A charger...

Twincharged != a charger

 

[thepharcyde]

still needs the bump strips colour code too

 

[Firestar_3x]

Charged means supercharged

Turbo means turbocharged

The common term for both is FI or Forced Induction

The E39 M5 has to be one of my fav BMW's ever, it just looks great

 

[paradigm]

IIRC one of them makes 580BHP at the WHEELS, so 800~ at the fly.

38% transmission loss

no way is it losing that much through the transmission isnt it closer to 22%
id shoot the engine builder if it was losing that much power LOL
cracking car there fox my m8 has an E39 alpina B10 3.3 manual and it has some nice lines on it particularly like the E39 M5 in red

 

[Firestar_3x]

Have to say, those wheels really don't work with the shape of the car, makes it look all fat.

Great looking wheels on an E30 but not on that.
