Next M5 to have smaller engine...

http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=18338

Looks like BMW are running scared of emissions regulations too... seems a step back in the usual run of things, but I suppose they all have to play the game these days Disappointing not to see it chase after the RS6 in terms of horsepowers.

Seems inevitable Shmoogle

I'm sure it will be a seriously quick machine though but probably more fuel efficient and possibly lighter? Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Definitely... and given the twin turbos, much more torque than the NA. So it will be interesting to see how it performs in real life

Agree S. On a day to day basis I would take torque (Twin Turbo) over pure rev hungry (VTEC). Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

So, M5 loses a couple of cylinders as does the future RS4!
