Hi, anyone from singapore with e60 M5 or M6 who has vboxed their car in singapore and checked how many seconds it took their car to go from 60-130 miles or 96-210kms? The reason i ask is because we have the same hot weather here in Manila.

You mentioned octane before, now you are mentioning the hot, humid weather. It's neither of those things. Something is wrong with the timing equipment, the driver or the car. There is no way you should be 4-5 second slower than 99% of all other M5's. I live in AZ and it gets to 115 in summer, almost 45c and the car still pulls like a bandit! Even in Flagstaff which is 7000ft the car still pulls nice. 4-5 seconds is an eternity.

You know what, just post a video of the tacho when you´re doing this run, we can tell by looking at the tacho if it´s wrong with the car or the timing equipment.

If i was the only M5 with that time then i wont be wondering, but im the 6th m5 / M6 whos tested and got bad results. When i drive it, the pull, the power feels great, but when you test it with d vbox, its frustrating

. Were gona test again tonight! At 7700km i got new sparkplugs, new airfilters, changed my oil, and added an octane booster. Since im also thinking our 100 octane gas might just be 93 octane in other countries. Im still tryng to figure out how to video the speedometer while driving. If i did bring som1 to hold the video camera it would just add weight

It doesnt add weight to slow the car down by 4-5 seconds, just get somebody to help you or do as many of us do...drive with one hand

Fail again! Don't know what the f**k is wrong. No faults on my car, new plugs. New airfilter, new oil, our local 100 octane plus octane booster. Took off at 40 miles @ 3rd gear. Timed 15.4. W t f. Guess its only the vbox! Just so dismaying to get this. I shouldn't have vboxed it in the 1 st place

Are you driving on a serious incline, lol!! Like up Pikes Peak.

Wish it was. But it was a perfect down on a skyway. Very very very weird.
