I´m not so optimistic with thought of having V10 TT in M5 or M6 for that matter.V10,as it is,is a masterpiece and I belive it would loose it´s soul with turbocharging.Better option,by me,is to add 0,2-0,5 litre to dissplacement or move revs up to 9000 rpm IMO to get additional 50-60 HP .M engines have allways been N/A and I don´t like idea to change that tradition .

Re: BMW M5 twin-turbos?
well i don't mind anything from M division. They never dissapointed me. atleast until now, whether high revving or turbo charging, it would be a blast to drive for sure.

Yes,I now what you mean..But,I think this is not time to radicaly change M engine layout yet.Be assured that N/A concept is far from over IMO and sticking to it is not to be considered a weakness but as strength.If M-division decides to go with turbocharging their engines that would be ok by me but I would fell little,very little dissapointed .

M actually used to make some crazy ass turbo charged engines for F1.

As for this pic, my bet is it is probably some tuner trying some turbos on.
