Default Does anybody have an idea how much does the new M5 weight?

Does anybody have an idea how much does the new M5 weight?

Ok I've seen at least 5-6 different versions, but the most common is about 1800 kg.

Ok that's fine with me, but after taking a closer eye on the M6 you see the same weight - 1,785kg, which is pretty much the same.

So what? Why didn't they make it lighter. I mean i a lot smaller anyway.

First I was disappointed because the rumors was that the M6 is going to have 600 hp which would be - :shock: just crazy! But ok I'll live

But now this! The performance now is more than great it's sure a Porsche killer even more, but with some pounds taken off damn I can only imagine!

Maybe they just didn't want to break the speed record for now

Guess you'll have to wait for the M6 CSL

Definitely too much I don't know the exact figure but somewhere around 1800 kilograms is a very realistic geuss. It will not surprise me if they do a CSL-version of it.

Cheers

Not that a CSL version would be much lighter than 1700 I guess:
