7er V8 TT ... imagine Sport version beside the regular 750i ...

M5 / M6 ... CS(L) versions still on agenda ...

I was told many questions would be answered quite soon.

Yeah, sure.

BMW officials saw the new RS6 a few days ago (and its characteristics), and said: "Oh, Holly Sh!t! This Audi will kill our baby - the M5. Let's go and develop even better V10 bi-turbo." And they went and developed it in a few days.

Guys, such decisions are made at the beginning of the development program - so many years ago!

Like I said many times: carmakers coming out with similar products due their market & trend researches showed the same results. Denying such results would end up in a failure. As an aftermath we have tons of similar products in the market - fighting for the same customer base.

Months??? No, don't want to wait that long.

How about only confirmation or opinion about claim there are 2 turbos under the hood?

I can conclude from the spy pics the engine under the hood is a turbocharged one. Haven't seen anything similar (cooling system) on NA engine configuration yet.

But ... is it some sort of V10 bi-turbo under the hood, or just testing N64 V8 bi-turbo?

I have to admit I haven't heard anything about S85 being upgraded with turbo chargers. But M officials said several times M turbo engines are possible, and there are the only 2 things we would never see in an M car:
1.) supercharged engine
2.) diesel engine


The only info I got right now is that M5 / M6 CS(L) variants are still on agenda - with upgraded engines, brakes, chassis, gearbox etc. And was promised to get additional info in not-so-distant future.

Stay tuned!

The only thing i wonder is why would they test the TT V8 in M5's clothing...?
