OK you BMW Enthusiast!
Here is the latest in factory built HOT ROD that can also double as your family sedan.
Chassis number F10 for those of you that use the platform numbers to describe the car.
The 2013 M5 packs a whopping 560 horse power! compared the previous E60 that had
500 horse power,guy's and gals it just keeps getting better and better! and get this,BMW
has gone back to the V8 instead of the V10 that they used in the M5's during 2004-2010.
(my opinion making the 2004-2010 M5's collector cars because of sheer engine size)
The M engine is a 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo (technical terms "S63 TU") that makes the
car go from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds.This beast can run a 1/4-mile in 12.0 sec @ 122 mph.
All that sounds great right?! but wait,this baby also comes with a base price of $92,000
this is not your everyday family sedan now is it?
Look for the new M5 to be available in the United States in late summer of 2012.
