before another 5 pager starts about how the BMW is superior in every way M5 Starting at $83,900 MSRP RWD V-10 engine power 378.1 kw / 507.0 bhp @ 7750 rpm torque 520 nm / 383.5 ft lbs @ 6100 rpm 4,012 lb 0 - 60 mph 4.2 seconds 0 - 100 mph 9.4 seconds 0 - 1/4 mile 12.4 seconds top speed 259.1 kph / 161 mph 17 mpg hwy\* Nürburgring: 8:13 2009 CTS-V: Price estimated between $65k and $75k RWD Supercharged V8 556hp 551 lb-ft 4,300 lbs. 0-60: 3.9 seconds ZR1 get 23 so maybe 20 mpg? Nürburgring: 7:59 My dad looked at the V in 2004 and thought it had a horrible interior compared to his BMWs (he has had a E36, E39, E65 and now a Z4 M roadster), had a crappy shifter but was fun to drive. At the autoshow he told me if they built that V like they had there, BMW would have their hands full. None of us have sat in a production model, granted I have seen 10+ on the road and the recaros look nice. And obviously the ring time with an engineer driving shows it can get out of its own way. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cts-v2-vs-m5/53663)._
