I just saw that the same feature is used on the new camaro. Although, there doesn't seem to be a hood "bulge" and I would expect to see some sort of detail on the hood since the current M3 uses so many.

It's good advantage of twin-turbo technology that engine has max torgue in wider range of rev speed than n/a engines. I think that every driver of M5 tt will appreciate this feature sooner or later. BTW, what exactly do you mean by saying "as lame as AMG"? Why do you have so critical attitude to M5 tt?

BTW, what exactly do you mean by saying “as lame as AMG”?

The X6M is now the best ever M car built. Just now wait for the the BMW 5 Series GT M which I am told will be out in 2011 too. Look for heaven sake face the facts.

So in a short version, he is saying that driving the new M5 will be as lame as driving an AMG car.

Literally...a monster the other Germans should be afraid about. After all, the only problem with M is that they haven't been quick on the straights. I think this answers it... It will be a monster.
