What are the engine mods besides the supercharged.
And what have they done to the chassis and brakes?

Plenty of carbon fiber, 21" G-power rims and 400 x 35mm brake discs with 6 piston fixed calibers.

All this power is nice, but how does it drive compared to the original?

It looks quite nice

If this isn't the hottest E60 M5...

^I was so focused to the numbers of the car that I kinda forgot to look at it. I agree with you, Dani. It looks gorgeous!

Not really into the looks of this thing. Also, 730bhp seems like a bit overkill, I'd bet any money that overall the regular M5 is still more fun to drive. This is just gonna be unmanageable.

The orange in the engine bay seems a bit tacky, and do you really need 730hp? I guess that's a silly question, of course you need 730hp!

It is more than enough. Like Mika Häkkinen once said "for the road car, enough power" and he was ofcourse talking about McLaren F1 with 627 hp

It can never be to much power, it can be enough power.....for awhile then you want more and so on.....

I like the numbers but the car looks like shit imho....not that they could do much with the starting point they had anyway....

You don't trust Mika Häkkinen or what? "For a race car, never enough power"

I'll take the superchargers and keep the regular M body kit. I would love to hear this beast though..

LOL, the central intake on the bumper looks like it came straight off an AMG, at least it makes it look a bit better to me, as I've never been too fond of the current 5 series looks.

This is insane! I hope it can get all the power down...

Does anyone know the quote, it goes something like this:

"You know you have enough horsepower when you leave two black strips all the way from one corner to the next corner."

That thing looks tough as!!! Awesome looking machine... I'll have one thanks

I haven't heard that before. Who said that?

I trust Walther Rohrl when he say: "the car is to fast for the human mind"....that was speaking about an Audi not an BMW tough.....

And that's why todays rally cars are full of electronics.... Makes for a less spectacular race though.
