We have some good news for all the BMW customers and fans which were disappointed by the acceleration time of the new BMW M5 F10. If the Germans from BMW officially announced that the new model is able to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,4 seconds, the American magazine Car & Driver said that the new M5 F10 is faster than the company says. To be more precise, Car & Driver reviewed the new BMW M5 and managed to do the 0-100 km/h sprint in 3,7 seconds.

This is not the first time when someone proves that a model within the range is faster than the company claims. However, this is not something that bad as finally the customers will be surprised to see that they got a faster car than they initially thought.

According to Car & Driver publication, the new BMW M5 does the quarter-mile in 12 seconds while the braking from 70 km/h to 0 is done in around 50 meters.

If you want to see more details and figures obtained by the American magazine you can check the statistics below. A full list of figures will be available in C&D’s December magazine.

Undoubtely, Sweden is the favourite place for all the big car manufacturers to test their models in extreme conditions. If few months ago BMW released a raw footage with the same M5 F10 prototype in the same frozen lands, today, the British journalists from EVO released a video where Chris Harris was having a good time behind the steering wheel of the new M model from BMW.

The video has been shot in Arjeplog, Sweden, and features a pre-production version of the new M5, most probably a similar version to the one revealed at Shanghai but however wearing a camouflage layer.

The frozen lake proved to be a good opportunity for the British journalist to test how the new M model behaves on ice. In the beginning he also claims that he got an one kilometer frozen lake and a 550-horsepower BMW M5 which means that it’s time for some drifting.

As a conclusion, Chris Harris says that Frankfurt Auto Show reveal is very awaited and the success of the new BMW M5 F10 it’s inevitable.
