I saw this the other day, looks nice.[TW]Fox;12377395 said:I can't decide. Either...
1) Buy E39 M5
or
1) Retrofit 16:9 Navigation System
2) Eisenmann Exhuast system
3) Gruppe-M air intake
4) 255bhp Remap
5) M5 mirrors
You know it would be wrong not to go with the M5.
What is the BHP/Torque figures on these and fuel like compared to yours (540?) ?
Unless the driver completely was inept, it seems that cornering tight and at speed (especially over brows where your grip will be reduced) isn't its strong pointI'd get something much more fun for the money!

Obviously I can't say anything personally as I've never driven an M-Power carThe M5s are HUGE though, I'd rather have something a bit less like a tank!
[TW]Fox;12379021 said:I think you need to drive something that size before you guess based on assumption. Put it this way - a 5 Series Sport outhandles a Mk4 Golf, which if you just judged based on size, you wouldn't expect. There is more feedback through the wheel, the steering is more precise and it corners flatter.

111R would obviously run rings around an M5 handling wiseNot at all my sort of car though

I admit I did have a semi-assumption that huge, heavy cars won't handle so well so fair play. I think perhaps the videos I saw of that M5 galvanised the misconception, due to the fact that he was trying to keep up with a crazily powered Porsche.![]()
1) Get Rear Passenger side rear wing keying repaired
