4.4L turbo V8. At least 555 hp, possibly 570-590 hp.

 

Going to miss the v10 M5, but this one will do just fine!

 

I would still take Cadillac CTS-V ...

 

Best Bimmer design I've seen in a LOOOOONG time. I dig it

 

Seems a tad busy around the backend. Otherwise looks great.

 

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo v10!!!!

 

The high-winding V10s will certainly be missed -- did lend them a bit more of and exotic air -- but the puffed up V8 should be a brute nonetheless, even if a bit more of a conventional approach to big power.

The styling certainly is much more cleaned up than the previous version, even being good looking as opposed to "interesting" or "challenging" (which struck me more as a sop to designer's conceit as opposed to actual good design).

 

Its size is reminding me of a 7 Series and i'm not really feeling those wheels. I absolutely love the high-revving V10 and hope to own here in two years or less so i'm biased. I do want to see what the V8 can do, and even more what it will sound like.

 

it is a little buzy in the buttocks but i'm really diggin this baby

 

+1 on the wheels - looks like they did a mashup of two different designs.

 

V10 was great, but pretty much every supercharged/turbo V8 in that class was outrunning it.

 

 

Thank God the V10 is going by the wayside. The current gen M5 is the worst generation of M5 thus far.....this one appears a great deal more promising.

 

nice, but bit too big for me

 

i like the V10 in this bodystyle....that V10 is beastly..

meh... it's better than the last gen.
But E63 AMG for me

 

I like it be great for a long cruise cross sountry or something like that.

 

Nice, just what a BMW should be. Understated but classy. Best looking BMW since the E39
