    got this from autoweek.com c/o motioncars.com




    At the new M5’s heart is a purpose-built 5.0-liter V10 delivering 507 hp. With individual throttle butterflies, BMW’s bi-Vanos variable valve timing and a stratospheric 8250-rpm redline, the BMW delivers its 507 hp at 7750 rpm and 383 lb-ft 6100 rpm.

    Another new feature is the M5’s power button. At start up, the driver is given access to 400 hp in a default program, dubbed P400. Depressing the button unleashes P500 and the engine’s full 507 hp wallop along with a more responsive throttle. In P500 BMW says the new car will hit 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and its 155 mph top speed in 14.9 sec. With its speed-limiting chip removed, BMW says its new sedan will reach 205 mph, although company policy prohibits official modification, even at the dealer level.

    Underpinning the new M5 is a modified version of the 5-series’ MacPherson strut (front) and multi-link (rear) suspension. While the geometry and pick-up points are the same, the ride height has been reduced and more negative camber added to handle cornering forces BMW claims can top 1.3 g.

    The new car also adopts electronic damping control (EDC), providing the driver with three stiffness levels: comfort, normal and sport. The EDC is linked to the M5’s power steering system, which provides the driver two assistance levels.

    There’s also two-stage dynamic stability control (DSC); the first stage with grip levels corresponding to a standard 5-series, the second stage, dubbed M Dynamic, allowing what BMW describes as “greater levels of slip.” Helping to rein the new M5 in are impressive looking 14.75-inch (front) and 14.5-inch (rear) ventilated and cross-drilled steel discs with twin-piston aluminum calipers. BMW says 62 to 0 mph takes less than 118 ft and 124 to 0 mph less than 460 ft.

    BMW claims the new M5 can lap the Nürburgring, where much of its development was done, in 8 minutes, 25 seconds less than the outgoing M5.

    the E46 M3 is already mga Php 6.0 million! So, I estimate that an M5 will easily reach Php 10-12 million.

    Ungas, may nag-papasok ng mga E28 M5 (1985-1988) series dito. They price it at about Php 1.2-1.5 million depending on the condition and mileage. Okay na rin yung power (290 bhp and 245 lb ft of torque).

    kung mahilig ka sa mga cars 10% daw ng assets mo e nasa sasakyan, kung 12M bibilin mong car, and dapat na asset mo e at least 140M

    tama ba mathematics ko, wildthing?

    hmmm the engine may be a knockout, pero ayoko sa design ng car, recently hindi appealing sa akin ang look ng BMW, especially the 5 series.


    12M for a car, no thanks.

    tatlo X5 na lang he..he

    personally, mukang bad taste magkotse ng Php 12mm sa Pilipinas because of the prevailing widespread poverty. there are families in our country who are already lucky to eat one decent meal a day!!!

    kaya, medyo dissappointing to see most of our politicians with high-end luxury cars cruising in the metropolis while a vast majority of our kababayans are wallowing in poverty!

    woodfire: true, pero kung ibibigay mo ang 12M mo sa mga urban poor, gagastosin lang naman nila sa ginebra at prepaid load eh hehe.
