[s-cars] BAM!

[Vincent Frégeac]

That's where design and visual illusion enter in the equation.

In fact, the S8 D2 is 6" wider, almost 8" longer and 2" lower than the new
M5, so it _should_ look bigger, especially as it's lower. Apparently not
when put side to side, but I agree with you Taka, looking at a 5 series,
then at a S8 D2, I'm also under the impression you can fit two 5s in the S8.

On a side note, surprisingly the new S8 is 4.5" less wide than the D2, and
than the new S6 too.



Vincent kind of bored at work so digging for useless numbers F.
