That's why i'm saying i cannot understand why this sudden change of something that was more than successful for many, many years...

But i also say that i don't want to doubt them since they've shown what they can do with adding turbos to non-M cars (35i) and i'm sure that they can do even better with M models.

As long as it's a car with high revving engine even if turbo is added, with handling that is an example to many other car makers and still having reason to be called ultimate driving machine, i have nothing against it.

Fair enough. Though I still think we're going about nothing. I can't see BMW adding a turbo to the current M5. The car in the spy pic could have been something else being tested.
