Watched "pulling power" again and this time they are testing the new BMW M5 - V10 500BHP. It has a head up display which looks really good but did we once see it registering more than 33mph - no ! There he his extolling the benefits of a wonderful engine and pushing it round an empty race track and did anyone even think we would be interested in a glimpse of the head up display off the line? Nope, just the usual stupid camera angles and childish doughnuts (down slinky, not those doughnuts..!)
