Lightbulb BMW unveils special edition E60 M5 CSL with 580hp!

from
http://www.bimmerpost.com

580bhp and close to 400lb ft tq.
No performance claims have been made for the powered-up-and-pared-down M5, but Biermann says it is “comfortably faster the standard M5’s 4.1sec 0-100km/h”.

Amazing car no doubt, but don't get your hopes up:

As desirable as this car may be to all of us however, this car remains a one-off and there are no plans for production.

CSL+580 hp= Cadillac can kiss their asses. I love HP wars. Its so damn cool. Can you imagine piloting a near 600 hp sedan. You can take your entire family to hell and back with that kind of power

Weight reduction huh. So basically it might tip below 4000lb?

Possibly under 4.0sec from 0-60 in a FAMILY SEDAN.

I think BMW might be mocking their own fans.

What is the point of making a "one-off CSL-style" M5 if it will not go into production? Consider especially that the next-gen M5 will no longer have the V10, so for a lot of BMW fans it is especially sad.
