Have you heard the M5 V10?

It makes my Noble sound like a tumble dryer Jeez, that sucker revs!

Had my eyes peeled for one for ages on my daily travels. They're like buses. On Monday saw one pass the other way on the M25 - unmistakable. Then got stuck in traffic next to one a couple of minutes later.

Needless to say the guy was leaving a large gap in front of him each time and then gunning it.

Sounded fantastic

..but it sounds like a diesel at startup with irks me. My E39 M5 had a lovely V8 rumble (Milltek exhausts) and I am definitely going to fit an aftermarket system to add some more beef to the soundtrack of the V10 - not sure which one right now.

Hopefully I should be photographing the said M5 next week so watch out for the pics

Yup, had a sit in one at a local dealer. Only got to press the throttle a couple of times but I agree that it sounds like a truck on tickover, and even at a few thou RPM it sounds tinny. Once at WOT and over 4000rpm it screams - beautiful.

Just waiting for Performance/Total/BMW Car to show the first V10 ZM Coupe/e30/e34 conversion!
