Something like E36 M3 you mean?It possible but no likely IMO cause CSL will for sure have updated engine..so if they gonna do it,they would need to do double upgrade on basicly same engine IMO or it wont make any sense,if you know what I mean .

Ask our friends in Munich.

People @ m5board don't like it...

Really? You think someone actually gives a damn for it?

Reason? To keep up with competition, only reasonable explanation i can come up with... They already boosted M5's engine (with E34 series), so why wouldn't they do the same thing today?

I don't think it's a rumor, something will happen for sure. But what exactly, that i don't know.

I think is just rumors, i just can't see a 63hp increase in a NA engine, unless that drop a turbo in it, but that would make is 8250 redline drop, and that would be a shame because that V10 loves to revv

There is no need for turbos to increase power to that level..ECU,different cams,intake and exhaust modifications can do the job without any sweat IMO
