They're so far away from that it's not even funny lol.

Welp. I guess exhaust will be my first mod. Again.

The S68 is sounding plenty loud to me. Skip to 1:35 in the video. I'm guessing that's in Sport+.

ynguldyn · 03-22-2022, 06:40 PM

BTW I confirmed the XM powertrain transplant a few days ago in my thread.

M3_Legend · 03-22-2022, 06:47 PM

Sounds good.

Bahn360Photo · 03-22-2022, 06:56 PM

S68 with two front motors, 650 advertised, 700 in real life

Hoiser · 03-22-2022, 07:04 PM

This car is so flat through the turns that it has to have the Active Roll Stabilization that is in the X5 M.

Doesn't matter....it will sound quiet and pedestrian....just like the rest of the M models now.

Definitely is. 460kW/750Nm which should be awesome.

To each their own. My F90 had GruppeM intakes, DP and exhaust. I want a V8 to sound like a V8.

I think that sound is coming from the car ahead of the prototype.... if you look carefully, you can see a car just going over that hill at the end (in front of the M5 proto).

G30Nashville · 03-22-2022, 10:58 PM

Curious how the guy taking the video just happens to always be in the right spot on the side of the road…..LOL. Sounds pretty decent to me at the 1:35 mark.

By now, they know the routes the manufacturers take, lol. It's like the guys that take videos of Nurburgring from the woods - they know the most likely places of wrecks and or high speed slight elevation etc. Or the gas station right before the left to go get to the Ring.

It's their job, basically. They know getting video on an unreleased car that has a large following = clicks / views, which in then turns into $$$.

I'd like to think there was a time hobbyists just did it for leisure.

I fully agree & it sure would be a fun job for a little while. Although this new M5 is way to quiet, it does sounds nice & looks like it moves out well with minimal effort. Can't wait to see what it looks like.

Ambrozie · 03-22-2022, 11:33 PM

I have no doubt in my mind that this will be the worst-looking M5 since it's inception.

The bar is high. M5's have always looked amazing. BMW's most recent track-record leaves a chasm to be desired.

FSHNGRY · 03-23-2022, 01:35 AM

Honestly, after following the details of the testing, release, and current state of the Ferrari SF90- I want to say that I'm VERY intrigued by this new G90 m5 (even the letters and numbers sound nice). I am a huge fan of this car still operating like a forced induction spirited car, aside from it's electrical assistance. Id rather not have it, but lets get serious - it's a blink away from 2023 MY cars- what we want is dead and gone.

Time marches on. Period. When the F10 came out, everyone probably had a GD aneurysm at the V8 Turbo set up and nothing a modified version of the V10 at the heart of the E60. Now look at us all, intakes, downpipes, tunes.

So - with that being said, show me the LCI and let me get my spot in the front of the line for another individual build to start all over again- I may even keep them both, but for shits and giggles, lets run it back with another FASHION GRAY X TARTUFO X CARBON SEAT BACKS X M CARBON EVERYTHING X CCB X ALL BOXES CHECKED.

RYAN @IND, get ready for another barrage of emails and orders
