2011 BMW M5 CSL BMW wonder car review

To bless 25 years of the M5, BMW has created a one-off adaptation of the E60 cool alehouse that Albert Biermann, arch of BMW's M analysis calls, "the M5 CSL we never built."

The transformation began with a adapted adaptation of the accepted M5's 5.0-liter V10, which has been stroked to 5.5-liters and adapted with a carbon cilia intake, accessory oil acknowledgment and a new fascia. BMW charcoal mum on official ability figures, but Biermann says the mods are acceptable for about 580 hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque over the accepted 507 hp engine.

Mated to the adapted comminute is a adherent adaptation of the seven-speed dual-clutch Getrag gearbox adapted to the accepted M3, while a carbon cilia roof joins a set of lightweight, carbon cilia seats up front. That, accumulated with the abatement of the rear seats, sheds about 110 pounds from the M5's barrier weight.

Although achievement stats haven't been released, BMW says the M5 CSL laps the Nurburgring about 20 abnormal faster than the accepted model, so article about the 7:50 mark isn't out of the question. What is out of the catechism is the befalling to buy the CSL. BMW has no affairs to action it to the public, and to that we say... fine. We'll delay for the twin-turbocharged V8 adaptation advancing in 2011.
