IS350 mods = HKS exhaust only
M5 = stock

 

wow all three videos are nice. I guess the M5 felt a little bad.

 

Excellent. What are the specs of an 02 M5?

 

I thought they were quicker then that... lol I guess not

 

394 HP @ 6,600 rpm; 368 ft lb

i always thought we still wouldn't stand a chance with the older generation m5's..

 

LOL, awesome.

Love the burnout!

 

IS350 is so beastly from a dig

 

My thoughts exactly. The difference between the second video (25 mph roll, only latter end of 1st gear available) and the first video (full 1st gear available) is pretty staggering. The IS350 in the video clearly had traction control off using the pedal dance. I'm impressed with the amount of traction he got from a dig in the first video. Wonder what his tires are.

 

I've raced one from a dig before. It was pretty close but the short and sweet answer is.. he lost.

 

That is Great Highway San Francisco?

Why does your location say Texas?

ANd ouch... that M5 got dusted!!!

 

The official BMW of North America statement (mentioned in the 2003 brochure) for the acceleration time from 0-60 mph is 4.8s.

But remember, this car is a 6-speed manual...so it is a driver's race and the M5's race to loose...

 

Also know that since these M5's are now pretty old now their engines might not be in top tune anymore so it's probably not as fast.

 

you just smoked my favorite M

 

The E39 M5 is known to have carbon build-ups. Many owners have started experiencing this problem as early as 50k.






I like the hard carbon build-up on my cast iron pan, but not in my engine
