M5 With ASR Engineering Exhaust

M5 With ASR Engineering Exhaust

The guys over at 360Forged have been busy 'working' again...

We sort of like what we do but we're not convinced we wouldn't have more fun over at ASR Engineering. They get to work on the coolest cars, like the M5 in this video.

Apparently this car is stock with only an ASR Engineering Gen II exhaust. Whatever the hell they've done to it, it goes like a rocket and sounds awesome, too. Only problem with shooting in Florida, though, is it's all too straight. Guys, get those cars to some corners and then we'll really have something to talk about.

Or ride along as BMW M5 vs Audi RS6 do some serious slicing through freeway traffic.

ASR-Tuned BMW M5

ASR-Tuned BMW M5

Another great video from 360Forged

If you haven't already lost most of your hearing from attending races, listening to massive bass or general self-abuse, here's your chance. Just turn up your speakers as you watch this video.

It's sort of like a before & after. This is what a 725HP M5, tuned by ASREngineering, sounds like before we hit the nitrous switch...and this is what it sounds like after.

Insane. You can see the birds flying North for the Summer as the car rockets past! We'd love to see what this car does round corners but even just in a straight line, it looks and sounds ridiculously good.

The BMW M Philosophy

The BMW M Philosophy

Brought to you by TheRing

Where BMW is concerned, "M" stands for "Motorsports". Of course, if you've ever driven one of their M-badged cars, you're probably more likely to think it stands for "motherf***ing fast".

There are plenty of aurally-pleasing exhaust rumbles in this slickly-filmed promo piece and anytime you can be on-board around Germany's famed Nurburgring, it's always worth hitting play. But you'll also learn the philosophy behind what makes an M-badged BMW more than just a standard car with a massive engine shoehorned into the front.

Head 2 Head: M5 vs E55

Head 2 Head: M5 vs E55

So the guys at TorqueTV have once again brought us a match-up worth watching. This time they throw the 469 HP of the Mercedes Benz E55 against the 500 HP of the BMW M5. They take both cars to Willow Springs for the ultimate test of supremacy.
