BMW M Boss confirms next M5 powered by a V8 turbocharged

What started as a rumor last year, it has finally received some official BMW backup. The next generation 2012 BMW M5 will be indeed powered by a V8 turbocharged engine. The information comes from BMW’s M boss, Dr. Kay Segler, in a recent interview for Auto Bild.

The powerplant in the F10 M5 is based on the same unit found in the BMW X5 M and X6M, the twin scroll twin turbo version of the N63, known as the S63, with Cylinder-bank Comprehensive Manifold (CCM).

While Dr. Segler has not confirmed the power output, everyone’s expectations lie within the 585-600 horsepower range. As the M boss pointed out, the new M5 will offer the best of two worlds: for normal everyday driving and for use as a race car , triggered by a push of a button. “The philosophy of “Two Cars in One”, which we have once established, you will find it explicitly in this vehicle.”, said Dr. Segler.

The new BMW F10 M5 goes on sale in the second half of 2011.

The M-diesel powered question came up in the same interview. Dr. Segler states that a market would need to be identified for a potential M diesel and at this point, nor the North American or asian market are in high demand of diesels. Another question concerns the technology. In the diesel, there are currently no high-revs and “that’s why an M-diesel might not be technically feasible”, said Dr. Kay Segler.

However, the M boss points out that BMW’s customers are increasingly purchasing M-Sport packages and M accessories for their diesel vehicles, “therefore, diesel and sportiness are not mutually exclusive”.

BMW continues their field tests of the new BMW M5 and the vehicle, in a concept format, is rumored to launch at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2011.

[Hasan Shaikh]

I don't think it shall be available in the middle east before 2012.

[ahmad.alkhalil]

I disagree with you Hasan... I think we'll be seeing some of the first models here! I'm sure the affluent people of the UAE want to get their hands on this machine as soon as humanly possible :D

[Hasan Shaikh]

Dear Ahmed

We might see the new model on the roads, but I am sure we shall not see it at the show rooms before 2012.

[SewerSideUp]

It's sporty, but it's more size and luxury than sporty. Still, this is only a rendering and time will tell.

[Hasan Shaikh]

I don't think time shall change the size or luxury.

Won't see it before 2012 in the Middle East? I've seen one parked at Knowledge Village in Dubai. It was a 535i.
