Car reviews on Auto Trader are written using manufacturer’s official figures. While the M5 and M6 are capable of more than 200mph, BMW limits them to a maximum 155mph. Naturally an owner could remove the speed limiter, or improve the car’s performance further using any number of modifications, but in order to maintain a consistency with the car manufacturers, we will quote their official figures. In the case of the M5, this is 155mph.

Clearly they havn’t been watching topgear. Derestricted the M5 can do over 200mph, which is much quicker than the Vauxhall. Basically, you get what you pay for!

Sounds like nothing else on the road.Totally recommended,a wolf in sheeps clothing and de-badged no one know’s what it is!
