BMW M5 30 Jahre M5 Edition

BMW M5 ’30 Jahre M5′ edition is revealed today or yesterday. Yes, it has been 30 years since the BMW revealed the first M5! Unfortunately, my first encounter with the BMW M5 was in 1996 or 1997. But it is my all time favourite car, even though my chance to owning a M5 is really low but this does not prevent me to emerge emotional links with the M5 :)
The 30 Jahre M5 is a bit more special than your friend’s M5, who revs up the engine all day with no particular reason. The BMW M5 30 Jahre M5 comes with the Competition Package which is optional on the normal M5s. The engine produces 600 HP and 700 Nm of torque. This means extra 40 HP and 20 Nm! The engine is coupled with the lovely 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox, and stagerring weight of 1.8-tonne! 30 Jahre M5 does need 3.9 seconds to reach 100 km/h and the top speed is limited 250 km/h. Or you can pay extra and unlock to 305 km/h, which I found it senseless. You will never drive that fast and try not to drive that fast!
BMW M5 30 Jahre M5 edition is a very remarkable car and only available 300 people. I hope they will look after this car well.

International Women Day

Sorry for late International Women Day’s post. Most of the people have bias toward women drivers. Instead of numbers just watch these two videos from Sabine Schmidt and Vicki Butler Henderson, then think again :)
Sabine is a race driver and drives the legendary BMW M5 Ring Taxi! And she lapped thousands of times around the Nürburgring. Couple of years or may be more, Top Gear gave her a Ford Transit to lap around the Nürburgring less than ten minutes. And she achieved by eight seconds extra! Transit never been designed to race and overtake Porsches.
I guess everyone knows Vicki, she was presenting old Top Gear and now on Fifth Gear. She is also race driver. And she drives a Toyota iQ in city and in a circuit. Like Transit, iQ was never meant to be driving like this and my recommendation is not to try by yourself.

Ferrari Estate: FF

This years Geneva Motor Show has something really interesting, actually something really unexpected. It is the Ferrari FF!
Ferrari new very innovative four wheel drive, four seater car with 800 lt of boots space. It is really unbelievable see a Ferrari with this kind of huge boots space.
Unfortunately this is the fate of every fast. I don’t know why but high performance is now being associated with huge boot space. I think people are get bored changing car and they want to something which can do everything.
This weird addition started with Audi rs6, then Mercedes E63 and BMW M5 and Ferrari FF. Okay, except Ferrari FF the rest of these cars are estate but when you consider the traditional size of a Ferrari, ff is an estate.
