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. Quote:
I was promised to get additional info in the following months. Step-by-step.   | ||

| Re: BMW M5 twin-turbos? 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! | |
