I quite fancy big off-idle torque, an auto box and a comfier ride.
Alpina rather than M5 then. The M5 engine is a beast, but you have to rev it hard before it gives up the goods.
Brommers-
Agreed. The V10 M5 feels like it has the wrong engine in for a big superbarge, it ought to be in a smaller saloon with a manual box.
If it's torque you're after I still miss the V10 Toerag I used to tow with. It would beat everything off the lights whilst pulling 2.5 tonnes. Not exactly glamorous, but a great sleeper car for motorway work.
Hefty
I think I'm getting old(er), I quite fancy big off-idle torque, an auto box and a comfier ride. In the estate, that is. Possibly as I now have the 911 for the sharper stuff so I want the estate to deploy its 360 bhp more calmly than the 850's "normal car until 3,000 rpm, then hit fast forward" approach.
