the pic was for a member at m5board....he was one of the first person to dyno a stock m5. everyone is excited, they are all speculating that BMW might have been conservative on the figures, yay

Great find.Figures look very impressive.But too many hp.They have overestimated it I think it is recorded 507 hp according to BMW AG.
Very astonishing.

nice find Arnab.........and yes, it was 507 hp for the European market and 500 hp for the US market.

yes but seems like understated the cars potential....you know how many manufacturers claim over the edge figures, BMW and Porsche always understate the figures because of competition.

yep u r right arnab bhai. porsche and bimmer always underestimate 4 their own profit. Those clever administrators of bimmer and porsche are too clever.
