There's no denying that the 2012 BMW M5 probably deserves a higher spot on our Frankfurt Auto Show Top 10 list, but here it is anyway. Maybe it's that we all knew several months ago that it would have a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 and make 562-hp that made its "official" reveal less captivating than it otherwise could have been. Still, don't let the 10th place spot make you believe we think any less of what is likely to be crowned as the world's highest performance sedan. After all, the M5 delivers the sort of performance you only expect to see in a concept car. But this is one very real machine.

911 is number 1 and I pick my GT500 over my 911 almost every day :)

slocum1946 you need to move here you are to funny for the left coast. Sorry you had to change your Vuron for a Porsche. I like the GT500 for daily driving, too, but in the mountains the 911 rules. PS the carbon Ceramic brakes will cause your eyes to bow out during hard stops.

My 911 doesn't have ceramic brakes. But it is supercharged to 600 rear wheel HP :) I'll move to Florida to die- like everybody else does :)

PS- I would have kept the Veyron if AFCO agreed to send me 10 upgraded harnesses and a Tshirt. They balked at the shirt.

Those bastards!!
