Here's a 5000 mile report on the hyper beast
report breakdown...
Power :- Plenty of power on tap although still on low boost.
Oil consumption :- To be honest i really dont check it much but i would say as not wrose than stock suprizngly.
Tires :- Rear tires are worn which need to be changed.
Problems ? :- The only problem i have faced so far is when the fan came off, ripping off the top part of its cover and going through the bonnet. Bmw's comments was it a was faulty clutch fan and they have encountered a similiar problem with another 00' M5 which they changed under warranty.. mine ? forget it!
Ecounters? :- On a daily basis from anything from 320i's to 996 tts. Result ? should i say
Last comments :- I must say that the car feels alot faster than it really is!! I already had a word with Osh on this and he thinks the car doesn't feel its actual perfoemance due to its ultra smoothness.... I dont know if that is the answer but i can tell you that i wont give it a chance against the Lambo if you had asked me but suprinzgly the lambo couldn't pull away from it in its (lambo) first, second and half way through third with me driving. Boy was i wrong !! And for everyone's information, the lambo pulled away with ease from an SL55, and closely beat a 535bhp 996 TT. So the SC M5 is up there with 100 hp still in hand
