Seems like the N54 engine is making it's into the 5 series.
If this happens, we might as well see the bi-turbo 4.4 litre V8 in the 550 soon.

I can not believe BMW to launch a turbocharged 4.4litre V8 in the 5 series. As this engine is very likely to produce considerably more than 400hp it would be to close to the M5 and B5.
A supercharged version of the 4.4 would be very suitable in the X5 and 7-series as there would be no engine version 'in collision'. The 760i is bought because of its 12 cylinders.

Do you have any sources or just guesses?

No offense - just my 2 cents.
