sux to be in this country... really. The e60 M5 was a naturally aspirated V10 and the e60 B5 was a TTV8 from tthe 550i. speedophiles had a choice to get a naturally aspirated tour de force or a sledgehammer of a TTV8 that produced torques that rivalled the stuff out of Affalterbach.

With this car and the new M5, I want to say that the characteristics of the motor are going to be very similar, making it ever so difficult to choose between one or the other.
