Excelent news by Scott indeed..
I hope his little intervention clears any doubt about TT-ing of V10 in current M5(M6) models .

BMW had better not do a turbo M car of any sort with all high and mighty talk about natural aspiration BMW diehards have been spewing for years!

That said I don't think what we're seeing is a turbo M5, but a M5 CSL?

I guess I am the only BMW fan who would love to see a turbo M car. In the past Turbos had drawbacks like lag and non linear power delivery. Not any more and it makes little sense to be idiosyncratic about turbos (or their absence). And I believe the big dude at M (Richter ??) himself has said turbos are not off the list in the future.

I wasn't for turbos too, but when i saw what they've did with adding turbos to non M car, i can only imagine it in M car...

We'll see...
