    No sorry, M5 doesn't qualify to be a "monster". Afterall it is a family saloon!

    Maybe I am just used to small engines, but any 5 litre V10 that puts out 500bhp and does 0-100km/hr in 4.5s I consider some monster. Not exactly run of the mill stuff. As for a family saloon, unless you like peeling your loved ones off the rear window it's not really a family car. By this reckoning would this make the Merc C63 AMG a family saloon also?
    Even tho the engine is cool, can the M5 even be called cool even? Luxurious, fast, smooth etc.. but cool.. don't think so.

    Matter of opinion - cooler than a Daewoo thats for sure! :D

    You need to drive an M5 that V10 just roars.

    It had bloody well want to, it sounds worse than a diesel at idle.....

    And yes I've heard one at idle, which is why I said it.

    If ever a car that sounds so disappointing at idle this is it. Even a 4 banger can do better, and its no match for properly loud 6 pot BMW like the E34 and especially the E30.

    It sounds great on youtube, once you go beyond about 6,000 rpm though!

    Actually I wish BMW would go back to the days when you knew they were coming about 5 mins before they were due to arrive! They have that beautiful straight 6 completely muted these days unless you're in the car now. And Volvo should join them, I'm still missing the lovely wail of the 850/S70/V70(Mk1). All the 5 pot Volvos that have come ever since sound like 4 bangers at idle, not a good thought!

    The only diesel the M5 sounds like is a Honda Diesel - super quiet. Don't know what diesels or M5 you heard but the V10 doesn't rattle at all.

    As for loud 6-pot - take off the back box if you want loud. There is significant difference in tone between a V10 and a I6 on song and I6 just won't match it.
