    NEXT M5 IS NA

    Release summer / autumn 2010 according to article in German Auto News and BMW M 25 Year Anniversary of the BMW M5.

    I'm not 100% sure how to judge the quotes from the German text but it seems that there might be truth in this.

    Auto-News -> 25 Jahre BMW M5: Business Sport – Alle Modelle auf der Nordschleife (Nachricht)



    English Google Translation:


    A successor will be

    The new generation of the BMW 5 Series will be presented in November 2009. The M version is still a bit slow in coming - in the summer or autumn of 2010, it might be ready. Information about new business-understatement-there are hardly any cars. Still, Dr. Kay Segler, head of M GmbH, tells us: "We want to achieve fuel consumption reduction of 20 percent." On the north loop, we then proceed with more in a single piece: an anniversary M5. To questions about the car, we are cultivating silence - but we must go along, Claudia Hürtgen sits at the helm. The Special-M5 ballert off without traction interruption - apparently believes that a new version of the already deployed in the M3 seven-speed dual clutch transmission, now also the torque of an M5 engine. This finding is expressed by us Hürtgen uncommented. The motor rotates up to 9,000 rev / min high and feels after 600 hp. In the next few descendants in 1985 in Amsterdam featured stealth M5 we are already looking forward.

        my money is on twin-turbo........ i even think bmw made a mistake in keeping the E92 M3 NA :)

        the F10 550i will get the 4.4TT engine with over 400hp so if the F10 M5 gets an NA engine then with a simple tune + exhaust the non-M kills the M on the straights (same as the E9x 335i vs E9x M3).. i know M's are not only about that to the real enthusiast, but to 90% of potential owners it's about straight line acceleration..

        i used to love my M & its NA S54, but to bmw it's time to move on & play the horsepower game with the competition :)
