BMW M5 Review

Recommended Posts

I had an E46 M3 Coupe for 9 months before I bought the E46 M3 Cab. The Coupe was manual, the Cab was SMG.

The M5 in E39 guise was definitely heavier than the M3. It's a fair old size. I'd say probably 100kg, maybe a bit more even.

But yes it did well in a straight line and there was nowt between them from second gear onwards (to 70mph, naturally).

The bhp/weight pretty much even things out. The M5 has 400, the M3 has 343. The M5 is heavier. So no surprise really but I do recall thinking at the time I was impressed.
