Factory E60 M5 CSL

The E60 M5 is known for its high-revving 500hp V10 engine but not everyone knows where else it was used:

  • 2005–2010 E60/E61 M5
  • 2005–2010 E63/E64 M6
  • 2009–2010 Wiesmann GT MF5
  • 2011 Wiesmann Roadster MF5 V10 daHLer Schwaben Folia Black Bat, upgraded to 600hp
  • 2005–2007 Fisker Latigo CS V10: 1 prototype and one production car, upgraded to 650 hp
  • 2009–2013 Vermot Veritas RS III: 30 cars built, upgraded to 600hp

Aside from these uses, the BMW M team decided they'd get involved too, and built the E60 M5 CSL.

The colour scheme was chosen to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the M5, and it was the first M5 to have a carbon fiber roof.

The 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V10 was tuned to produce 630 PS (621 horsepower) at 8,750 rpm and the M5 CSL was the first BMW to use the Getrag seven-speed DCT which was later used in the E92 M3 and other M cars.

I couldn't figure out how they would get 621 hp out of an already highly strung 500hp engine.  Turns out it's a 5.5 litre version.

Pretty good going regardless.

Add 10% capacity, gain over 20% power. :) 

And more revs.
