It will be offered with a still undisclosed price in 2014 M5, M6 and also the third model coupe, cabriolet, and the Gran Coupe. wqzxc This package bumps horsepower 560-575, which cut a tenth of a second 0-60 times from each model, with the exception of the M6 cabrio. This means that the M5, so equipped, it would require 4.1 seconds to do the deed. Real-world numbers can be more profitable, we recorded a 0-to-60 time of just 3.6 seconds in the current test generation M5. Top speed, of course, will be limited to 155 mph with an option to increase it to 190 governor. Customers can continue to choose between either a seven-speed dual-clutch six-speed automatic and manual.
