did anyone notice on 6x10 they took the m3 off the board cause the diesel ran the same time. And this confuses me but why in 6x09 jeremey says the m button on the steering wheels gives you the full 507 horse power but the power button should as per tiff's review.

And that sentence has confused me. Makes no sense what so ever.

When you start the car, you have 400bhp under the bonnet. Press the 'M' button, you get given the full 507bhp...

Is that what you were wanting to know?
 
he was talking about the M button setting apart this from it's non-M cousin... it was a figure of speech and had nothing at all to do witht eh M button providing any real performance gain, the motor handles that pretty damn well on it's own!
 
ok no i was saying the m button doesn't do that the power button does.

and...

they took the m3 off the power lap board when put the 5 series diesel on it.
 
As in there is a button marked "power" next to the shifter... BUt the M button does other things as well (shifting speed, suspesion etc...)

agreed.

the second post by barry123 has confused me even futher... perhaps type in normal english with commas and full stops, ya know , and .
 
I'm not sure if there's a power button or not, but I believe there is.

When you start the car, it has 400bhp. By pressing the Power or the M button, the onboard computer does some fancy-smantzy ECU trickery voodoo bullshit and the horsepower is physically bumped to the 507bhp.

Why would you only want 400hp? Fuel efficiency I'm assuming.

As for removing the new //M5 off the power lap board, I'm not sure. I wouldn't imagine that they did.
 
The M button is a factory preset macro button. Instead of physically changing each and every setting, the M button performs a series of "macros" (to make a computer reference) that changes the diff, power, gearbox, and supsension settings all at once.

I believe he's reffering to Fifth Gear ([7x10]?) when Tiff is testing the M5 he presses the 'power' button and says that that changes the engine output from 400bhp to 507bhp and he[barry] is asking why in Jeremys review, the engine does that 400 to 500bhp jump when the 'M' button is pressed, and its because when you press the Power button the only thing that changes is the engine output and you keep all the other changes you may have manually put in, but when you press the M button', all the settings change to a special BMW default setting as well as the engine.

...i think :|
 
I'm a bit of a tech-head and generally love all things buttony and tech, but the M5, arrgghhh! TOO MANY BUTTONS!!

Give me 507bhp from the moment the key is turned and a good ole clutch and gearstick manual (if it has 7 speeds i'll use 'em) and i'll be a very happy man.
