BMW has revealed the 2022 M5 CS bound for the North American markets, and it is a looker
and a cooker.
In fact, it’s the quickest and most powerful production vehicle ever made by the German auto company.
The new M5 CS sedan carries the same twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 as the other current M5 models, turning out the same 553 lb-ft of torque but tuned for 627 horsepower, up from 617 in the M5 Competition. That power is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission and the brand’s active all-wheel-drive system, resulting in the record-setting 0-100 km/h in sprint time of 3.0 seconds, a full 0.3 seconds quicker than the M5 Competition.

Whanganui drag racers had a successful weekend at the Masterton Motorplex dragstrip, collecting wins and personal bests.
Dean Scott was outstanding in the Supercharged Outlaws division, winning the event in his Chevy ute, running a personal best of 6.9sec at 204mph (328km/h).
In the Competition class, driver Adrian Rivers was cautious with a brand new Pontiac engine in the Rivers family dragster but still ran a number of 6.8sec passes to win the division.
