first year.

wait.. not first year... that means they have plans to bring it over the second year (or is that with some campaigning?)

They won't bring it if they don't think they can sell enough.

always slated to get the 5.2 FSI V10. HUGE differences.

Although you would argue that the lighter 4.2 would be the better handler.

Supercar is defined by the Italians. Sexy is more than 8 cylinders. To compete in this arena, BMW and Audi are putting in these over 8 cylinder motors. Audi, BMW apparently are not trying to make a great handling luxary cars but a supercar cruiser.

that thing will dance around a track.. that's the M\\\ way.

Lamboghini, Maserati, and Ferrari 10 and 12 cylinders compared to a new M5 of M6 on a road track. Or, how about the new 8 cylinder Austin Martin or 8 cylinder front engine Ferrari's? Small high powered v8's, (for balance) in front of the driver. These cars are designed for super road handling. Show me a true supercar with a huge, over 8 cylinder front engine, besides the M5, M6 and the future S6. These cars are built for Executives that want a car that is exclusive and over 8 cylinders is exclusive. How many of these BMW's will ever even see a road track.
The M5 or M6 will compete with all of these supercars on a drag strip Redlight to redlight
IMHO, that is not supercar territory.

since when did performance sedans compare to a lambo, ferrari....

that's just silly.

I have the track and the Aston about 15 miles from my house.
I'll take that bet.
In fact, I also have the BMW test track about 30 miles away if you cant find a new M6. Just make sure you bring plenty of money.

it handles to boot... but of course it won't turn a track with the same numbers as a ferrari or a lambo. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out.

My balls &gt; yours type of deal.

You didnt think I would take you up on it?
I happen to know a lot about BMW's and I happen to know what goes into BMW's design of cars, especially the M's.
The 5 and 6 series M's were not designed as supercars. They are to appeal to the executive that wants something different from everyone else.
The BMW 4.8 litre V8 could easily put out 500 horsepower and have just as smooth of a torque line, and weigh about 200 lbs less over the front wheels. This would make a better handling car, but the car would be just a little better than the 550 sport model.
I am assuming, but do not know for sure, the Audi took the same approach with the S6. Maybe you know more than me on that, however we are working hard at getting Audi to our Technology Center to do their testing too. That is why I now own an Audi.

I stand corrected.
