A class master for many years, the BMW M5 has finally met its match. It's the M5's transmission that pushes the car down the rankings.
i cant believe they are still bitching about the gearbox

What makes the E63 so special is the blend of its abilities. For a start, it's a particularly emotional machine-mean-looking, acoustically overwhelming, and very fast, yet it can be either velvety smooth or bondage brutal, whichever you wish.

M5 V10:
500hp, 384 lb/ft torque
529 lbs fully dressed

E63 V8:
507hp, 465 lb/ft torque
438 lbs (add another 15-20 lbs for flywheel/flexplate)

The M5 engine is bigger (longer, taller, wider) and heavier, yet has less hp and WAY less torque.
