Rent BMW M5 in Milano - Italy

The F10 M5 was released to the public at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, and went on sale in November 2011. The new M5 uses a variation of the S63 biturbo 4.4-litre V8 engine, called the S63B44Tü. Compared to the standard S63 as found in the X5 M and X6 M, the S63B44Tü produces 560 hp (418 kW) and 502 lb·ft (681 N·m) of torque.[citation needed] The decision to turbocharge the M5 has not met with approval from all fans, some being disappointed that BMW seems to be moving away from traditionally low-displacement, high-revving naturally aspirated engines. Increasingly stringent international CO2 emissions and fuel consumption regulations are cited as the reason for discarding the outgoing model's V10 engine; the new engine reduces CO2 emissions by 25%. One other advantage of turbocharging is that it generates more low-end torque. While the X5 M and X6 M currently offer only six-speed automatic "Steptronic" transmissions, a dual clutch transmission will be used on the F10 M5 in place of the Getrag SMG III single-clutch seven-speed semi-automatic transmission used in the previous E60 M5. A manual gearbox option has been confirmed for the US market only.[25] The car features standard blue-painted brake calipers and 19 inch multi spoke wheels; 20 inch split 5 spoke wheels will also be available at launch. In an effort to lower the curb weight of the new M5, BMW partnered with SGL group, a carbon fiber manufacturer.[26] Despite this, the F10 still weighs more than the E60 model.
