it's probably by no means certain that this will be what it looks like when it hits the showrooms, but what they've done to the grille and lights looks odd. makes the thing look like it's scared of something.... |

Can someone photoshop a Bini front onto a Tarago? I think we should start a our own rumours! (How about a Bini front on a Ford F150?  )

lol... I was gonna say it looks really sad, like it's so depressed about being excessively obese, and is about to stuff another chocolate cake (or small mammal) into it's mouth, but scared may be closer to the mark interesting little review of the new Fiat 500 in the weekend australian a couple of weeks ago - to quote one part "The 500 traces the same path as the new Mini and Volkswagen Beetle in reworking an automotive pinup. However, while the originals broke new ground in car design, none of the revivals can claim to be innovative." and another, which says a lot to me "The 500, Mini and Beetle were once cheap enough to be a first foray into motoring, and they became as common as cat's eyes" |

looking at that article again - twin turbo 5 series - fwoar 
I reckon it's funny how BMW ads on SBS promote how their cars are rear wheel drive for stability etc. - they're almost saying "<cough> we don't like to mention that other car we make..." |

I dont mind the sound of this one either..... Quote: planning a two-seater supercar, which will be named the M10. Intended as a rival to the Audi R8, it’s set to be powered by a 500bhp 5.0-litre V10.

I'd buy an M5 if I won big on tattslotto.... would be good for towing the brick around, would be a hard choice deciding which brick to tow to the next race, but I think I'd decide eventually |

i dont think we will see the V10 motor here but they will more then likely use the twin turbo 6. |

what did you expect?? top of the line luxury 5 series BMW with a formula 1 motor
I thought they were more than $240K new... I thought closer to $260-270K... maybe that's with the options I'd want

yeah the 500bhp v10 (the S85) in the m5 puts out 507bhp 0-100 time in the m5 is 4.7seconds (in a luxury sedan) i like em...
the new M3 has a simmilar engine, a V8 though...putting out ~400bhp either way the new cars will be F'ing quick

I went for a spin in a V10 M5 a few months back in Ireland. A friend of my cousin-in-laws took me for a spin in this up a road he knows well and it blew my mind. I looked over at one point to see 240ks on the speedo, on a twisty irish B road, potholes and all!. The V10 engine sounds fantastic, as close to being in a ferrari as i am ever likely to get. And the active seats sound like total wank factor till the grab you in every corner and stop your face from hitting the side windows. Anyway, if I won tatts I'd be straight down to BMW to get one. Apparently thats what you need to get one as they struggle to keep under 18 litres per 100ks most of the time. Cheers Madmorrie |
