The only car that BMW would have that is 396hp is an older M5 and yes they come 6spd.

I wonder if anyone has raced the new M5 500hp V10 7spd?

**therobman** · 10-13-2006, 02:34 PM

um an auto has 1 2 3 and overdrive so yea

**-Freak-** · 10-13-2006, 02:44 PM

you put it in 1st while doing 50mph? i didn't think anyone was quite that dumb.

**therobman** · 10-13-2006, 03:55 PM

no the race from 50 i started in second and the race from 20 i had it in 1

**Musclefan21** · 10-13-2006, 04:44 PM

You just better not be anywhere near stock or you are going to get killed. Those cars are trapping 120 mph on accident.

i have a 2000 trans am

**SeVeReDiStOrTiOn** · 10-14-2006, 09:06 AM

At a 50 roll the tranny will drop to second on it's own...if you keep manually shifting your auto at those speeds it's gonna take a shit on you.

Nice kill though

i didn't know that manually shifting a A4 is really bad for it...

i hope mine doesnt shit on me soon

A stock M5 is sooooooo much better engineered than we are. I mean, I love my car, but it's cheap GM muscle....those M5s are built for an autobahn.....155mph all day every day. It will KILL you most days unless you are quite modified.

on A4, nothing wrong with droping into 3rd when you roll 60 let's say...
the car's manual says you get more power in 3rd while it consumes more gas.
what I usually do when I feel like somebody wants to race (2-3 times a week)
I drop it in 3rd rolling 60-65 and then floor it until the RPM goes 5K, then
I shift to D.. The launches from 60 roll are much more aggresive in 3rd, since
when you drive in D and floor it, the computer will take about half a sec or so to auto downshift for you and then it accelerates.. just don't manually shift all the times, the tranny may mess up over time. I do that a few times a week.
be careful out there! a guy wraped around a pole last week in Plano TX.
don't be silly and race in traffic. man oh man...
