📰 Auto News Official: 2012 BMW M5 Photos / Info Leaked, 552 Horsepower

[Mook]

After months of spy shots, we've finally got official photos and information on the all-new F10 2012 BMW M5.

552 Horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 501 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm from a twin-turbo V8. 7-Speed dual-clutch transmission. (Though we know they're testing a manual.) 0-60 comes up in 4.4 seconds-- last time we tested one it managed the task in 4.8, 4.5 with rollout. Tires, as we know, are 265/35ZR20 in front and 295/30ZR20 out back. We also know they're testing both Michelin Pilot Super Sport and Pirelli P-Zero tires.

I like it. I just wish I could afford it. Maybe I'll go back to school and be a physical therapist or something like that. If that's the case I would buy the X6 M

X10. I do not like the way this thing looks, if I wanted a big ass car/suv with a lot of power, I'd go with the X6M over this thing.

Whoa what a weird hood.

 

[utryd2]

I don't think it looks that bad, minus the hood, c6 vette wheels, and the pillow of a headrest.

 

[SRT41320]

DO WANT!

 

[Outlaw]

Is it just me or does the HVAC panel and radio, except for the lcd screen, look like it is straight out of 1994?

 

[jason05gt]

I was expecting more power. I like the exterior, but the interior is meh. BMW needs to work on their interior design. Audi is walking away in the interior department.

4hp short of the ctsV?

It's pretty basic in terms of interface because you control practically everything through through idrive system.

I saw a new 5 series a few days ago. I did not like the front end or the hood.

 

[Turk]

I do not like the new 5 or 7 series.

 

[willizm]

I dig it. Wouldn't mind getting one as the daily for sure. Got to drop the kids off at school really fast!

Hood is weird, they should have made it more like Turks M3s hood.

 

[Wessel]

in for seeing the RECALLS rolling in at work for this thing.

 

[Turk]

Are there a lot of recalls on the X5M or X6M? They are using the same motor.
