My December issue of Motor Trend came yesterday and I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but wanted to get the scan of this article up for my JW family to check out.

Thanks mate, this scan made my morning. :P

[rachaderua]

great scan dude..very thanx :D

Nice scan, thank's.

It sounds wired that the E55 did 0-60 in 4.2 sec and that it's faster than the M5 in all others mesaures.

Thanks Minacious ! It's really appreciated this MT scan. Now, you can read it. :D My choice in this comparison is definitively the BMW E60 M5. 8)

Thanks, very good comparison.

Too bad they didnt clock the M5. Est. times, who cares about that, I want to see real numbers.

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Thanks for the scan, it was a nice read to start the day with, I'm quite happy with the opinions of motortrends.

I think the M5 will turn around the situation over a 100mph ...
but dayum....4.2 to 60 that's some impressive resume for the E55.

[is64fun]

i think m5 should be faster because of its clever 7 speed gearbox and aggresive engine. we will see it after the real tests

[AlexBlaster]

Forgot this issue at home, but thanks to your ingenius, I'm no reading it at work.

Thanks!

[skituner]
