[QUOTE="salzki, post: 750140, member: 51796"] 4 tail pipes do not necessarily mean that it's an M car, heck even any bimmer can have quad setup (many non M E60 actually has em.) But, it's hard to believe that the E60 M5 couldn't keep up with an E39, which is a 523i as you mentioned, since that car has aprox almost 3x way less hp. Okay let's see some specs here: E39 523i - M52 i6 w/ 168hp E39 M5 - S62 V8 w/ 394hp E60 M5 - S85 V10 w/ 507hp As you can see from those numbers, there is no way an E60 M5 won't be able to overtake it (E39 523i). Heck even you can do it with no sweat. So back to the question, could it be a transplanted E39 M5? Possible. Will the M5 be able to keep up with it? Hell yes not only keep up but you can easily overtake it (since you were driving down the highway.) [/QUOTE]
