Question

Just read this weeks Autocar with new car write up on new MB E420CDi.
Its a 4.0 litre V8 with 310bhp and 538lb ft of torque.
0-62 6.1secs top speed 155mph limited 180mph de-restricted.
30.4 MPG combined cycle.
Price ?45,000.

They say the V8 affects the handling due to the car being nose heavy

Now what BMW?????

I'm not sure that only 310bhp is good for 180mph...

hey, did you read up on the supposed 745d? there was an article from the german mag auto-motor-und-sport, it was translated over on GCF, here is the link to read up on:

http://germancarfans.zeroforum.com/zerothread?id=15139


stats: 220kW/300hp, 700Nm, 0-100 in 6,9 secs, 250km/h electronicaly limited....

if they put it in the E65, the E60 cant be too far behind....
