Lag would be the least of your problems, 0 to 100 in 3.6 sec is!

I can't believe BMW is getting worse with design of their vehicles .. they are slowly getting uglier and uglier.
Mercedes Benz on the otherhand though are starting to make much nicer vehicles than they used to. Don't get me wrong though ... BMW mechanical design/function/technology is world class ... but exterior design has fallen by the wayside.

It's a shame really as I really do like BMW as well ... but I think they have dropped their game a bit in the design department with their current models though.

At the risk of being flamed : ; why do you need 800hp? Isn't 500 enough?.
I definitely like the previous models looks better.

E Class VS 5 series I used the AMG version there, so thats cheating a bit, but I still think the BMW is more modern. 3 Series VS C Class I know Merc has a newish shape coming out like below, which are better than what we get at the moment. (C class) But remember that the BMW shape older than the new Merc one and still looks as modern, if not more so. But if you want to see the best sedan in the World, then its very hard to go past this Jaguar.

Love the exterior, looks tough. Interior is OK, but not really to my taste. Engine is pretty cool too - lag existed in the eighties...

The seats looks like some cheap cracked vinyl crap. Those turbos mounted where they are would get incredibly hot. As for lag, it's probably laggy alright, but with 7 gears and 8000+ rpm, they probably don't feel that laggy overall. But what's got me is why they actually put them there? Surely if twin turbos can be mounted under the bonnet of a BOSS V8, then turbos would fit under anything? You can definately tell it's American though, the Euros would have done a lot neater job.
