VIDEO: 2012 BMW M5 Tears It UP Around A Corner

Although this is a brief clip of the 2012 BMW M5, we wanted to post it for all to see because this is the first video showing the M5 operating at full twist.

Firstly, do you think the car sounds good?

Although the motor is based on the X5/6M, which I believe has a gorgeous sounding motor, it sounds tuned particularly to the limit. Could this be pushing out 600 horsepower?

Secondly, why wouldn't you want to see a prototype twisting its hips on the Green Hell?

This is a short but very tantalizing clip of the upcoming F10 M5! Drifting around a wet corner at the Nurburgring, the M5 sounds like it's in the upper RPM range as it powers out of the corner. That's the tweaked version of the S63 V8 twin turbo motor from the X5M/X6M you're hearing, and we expect it to make 585-600hp in the new M5.

The 2012 M5 is expected to premier at the 2011 Frankfurt IAA autoshow in September 2011...
