What is the real 0-60? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

This may seem like a stupid question but what is the M5s real 0-60mph time. I have read tons of magazines and other specs about the M5 and they all vary some by almost 1 second. I believe that it runs a 0-60 in 4.7 or 4.8. But i read an article in Bimmer Magazine i think where they were comparing the Aplina B10 and the M5 and said the M5 did a 0-60 in 5.3 or 5.4 (i cant remember). And yes it was a 2001. But I was just wondering if anyone knows the real time, and i do understand the times can vary but has anyone ever tested it to seem what they came up with or just know what the M5 is actually capable of...

Elof, I don't want to sound mean or anything, but as I read you're computer savvy, let me introduce you to the "Search" button on the upper right corner. The times, 1/4 mile slips (look for Ramses' times), etc. have all been discussed at great length.

Also, others in you age group have asked about career info, etc. pretty recently, so I suggest you search on that as well. There are at least a half-dozen threads with lots of good advise that most people won't repeat.

PS: I think it was Bayareakid who had a recent thread about that.
