'What won't be carried over is the current M5's V10 powerplant. That will be replaced by a turbocharged V8, most likely a unit closely related to the twin-scroll, twin-turbo 4.4-litre unit from the X6 and X5 M models, so expect a power out put of around 540-550bhp'

Now this is a car which i'd consider replacing my RRS with when it's launched. Gone: RRS : HSE : TDv6 : 57 : Java Black : Ebony : 20"

Yep, saw this yesterday too... looking good, although didn't think much of the soundtrack - that new V8 currently doesn't sound so good as the current V10, but I'm sure all that will change once it gets to production.

Interesting you say that Shmoogle.

When testing the X6M (Essentially the same engine), they said it sounded a bit limp when compared to the standard V8 in the X6 XDrive50i (Or whatever the hell it's called).

I'm sure it will sound a bit fruitier in the M5 application  Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award
