Why is the M5 so heavy?

The M5 is heavier not only because of the engine, but b/c the hp level is much higher, things have to be beefed up more. Kind of a domino effect.

What kind of engine does BMW M5 have?

The F10 M5 had a tough act to follow, what with the old E60 packing a naturally aspirated, F1-inspired V10 engine. The new, downsized 4.4-litre V8 bi-turbo is seriously good, with masses more torque than the outgoing engine, while the excellent throttle response and high-rev capability are at odds with what we expect from lazier turbo lumps.

Is the M5 F10 a purists car?

Welcome to the F10 M5. It’s not a purist driver’s car with scalpel-like steering – that role belongs to the M3 – but it is a butcher’s knife shrouded in a silky package, ready to carve up bitumen with the dab of the pedal. And carry five adults while doing it.

Which is better a BMW M5 or a Porsche?

Take a brave pill, turn the traction control off and really provoke the M5 and it goes berserk; a proper Jekyll and Hyde machine. The Porsche does have a sweeter-sounding engine and the steering is more tactile, but to me it’s a one-trick pony: fast, competent, but lacking that final bit of delicacy and fun.
