OMFG!

Quality Dan isn't it The poster is not the guy who did it though, the origional poster removed it sharpish but somone must have somehow downloaded it and has re uploaded

p.s, a standard M5 will only do a genuine 194mph. Obviously they read a bit higher as per most cars.

If an M5 does 194, it is not standard... Standard they are limited to 155mph.


Spoke to AMG on derestricting mine. Looks like they do it, but then 'restrict' it again at 200mph

top video - i wonder how the car feels and handles at that sort of speed. he is taking corners at 200ish which is just mental really. I think I will leave those kind of speeds for the race tracks ... having said that i doubt a volvo T5 would be able to catch up by the time its spotted you doing 200+...

Great vid!

That man has balls of steel.

Swede !!

All you need to do is select "M drivers pack" when you order your M5 and that delete's the limiter.

I can tell you it feels amazing at 165+ mate, stable as you like and you can still alter course fairly easy, I've had mine out on an airfield locally.

That video mad

Utter craziness!!!

I must admit i thought the scooby was going to undress itself when it got to 140ish when i was at bruntingthorpe last year. The rear wing vibrates like crazy, the air scoop and bonnett appear to flex etc...

Horses for courses mate, I will convince you to go German yet !!
