I don't disagree that the E39 M5 is "fat, bloated and hugely
overweight", especially when compared to the E28 M5, which like the E30 M3 are consider *real* M cars. However, the bigger problem is that in today's market, outside of maybe a Lotus Elise, ALL cars are "fat, bloated and hugely overweight". BMW is only providing what customers want. Notwithstanding emissions and crash requirements, all these cars are loaded down with amenities that too the purist are unnecessary. But, let's look at reality. Compare the E39 M5 to its competition and it is heads and tails above them all, period. Similarly, the new E60 M5 will be too, even with its 7-speed SMG-III autobox! Of course, the competition, like the Cadillac V-series, is definitely getting better and should keep BMW M engineers on their toes! |
