What is more important is the car handling, which is disproportionately related to its weight. The handling define joy of driving, not 0-60. |

The main design challenge is to achieve M-level at driving dynamics. V8+electric power drain will easily create enough power for the straight line performance. But it will make car extremely heavy: 5 series body + V8 + 4-wheel drive + batteries = !!!
The M5 CS shows how much skimming 100 kg improves the car. What happens if you put extra 300 kg on standard M5?? I hope they test-drive the mule enough before launch decision :-) |

Sure speed is great but there's so much more to a driving experience than just the 0-60. If engagement, which to me means a connection to the road and the car, isn't your thing, than so be it, but it is to so many and it is what is missing in todays cars. They just "float" down the road. Chris

I may be alone in saying this, but these new cockpit displays just don't do it for me. I miss the traditional cockpit. I realize that BMW will realize some significant cost savings with the new approach, but it just looks velcroed on to me. TMMV.

More to the point re. this new--and somewhat bulbous, as far as the camo suggests--incarnation of the M5: what will a hybridised V8 sound like, exactly? Answer: As subdued as they can possibly make it, I'd wager, if the European F90 LCI is anything go by and in anticipation of even more stringent sound regs by the time this new model hits the public roads. Going to 60 in 2.5 secs starts to mean very little in a car that relies almost entirely on ASD for acoustic character-enhancement. Maybe BM will work wonders with the exhaust, but the current direction of (generally muting) travel isn't encouraging. We'll see!
