bigpoppanils Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 (09:05 Sep. 30, 2003)M5 Spied! BMW's next-generation super sedan caught testingBy AUTOWEEK WITH THE RECENT DEBUT OF BMW’S NEXT-GENERATION 5 SERIES AT the Frankfurt motor show, can the performance M version be far behind? Well, yes and no. Yes, here’s the next M5 sedan (BMW will also build an M5 wagon) in testing, running the company’s 5.5-liter 500-hp V10 engine. But no, we won’t see the car in the United States until the end of next year, as a 2005 model. Word is the next M5 will also feature a Sequential Manual Gearbox with racing-style paddle shifters, possibly as the only transmission choice. SMG forgoes the traditional clutch pedal and gearshift lever in favor of the faster-shifting automatic clutch gearbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
