"The BMW M group has seen a lot of changes in recent years with the addition of forced induction to the M3, the return to a six-cylinder engine, the dropping of the M3 Coupe, the addition of the M4, lots of new tech, and a host of other alterations. The most recent M5 hasn&amp;#039;t been forgotten, and Alex Goy from XCAR decided to take it to Wales to see what it&amp;#039;s all about. One of the biggest changes from the previous M5 to the current one has been the replacement of the hulking 5.0-liter V10 with a &amp;quot;smaller&amp;quot; 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8. The V8 is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and produces 560 hp and 501 lb-ft of torque, which is a huge step up from the 500 hp and 380 lb-ft of the V10. It&amp;#039;s enough to launch the M5 from 0-62 mph in just 4.4 seconds, faster than a current Porsche 911. With that sort of power, the M5 is still the executive-class speed machine it always has been, and yet it retains the civility that we&amp;#039;ve come to expect. As we found out when we tested it last year, the M5 will get you where you want to go extremely quickly and extremely comfortably at the same time. It&amp;#039;s a fantastic all-&amp;#039;rounder, but all this praise doesn&amp;#039;t come without a few minor quibbles, as Alex points out in the video below. Give it a look, and let us know what you think in the comments below.      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
