The engine in the "25 Jahre M5" (called M5 CSL by some) is only a tuned version of the current V10, but it is 100% not coming into the F10 M5. The whole car was just something for the engineers to play with, there was a big anniversary this year and so they got the chance to play a bit. Nothing more, nothing less. If you look at the "big" media, they often didn't mention the car at all. Only some message boards and "fan-sites" talked about it, it was never meant to be a big deal in the public, just a present from the M GmbH to the M5. It even has very unspectacular looks, standing next to a normal ring taxi you only see at a second glance that there are some things different, they even painted the carbon-fibre roof! Anyway, it is a nice car and sure as hell it is very fast, but it is not meant to get into the hands of any customer. It is just a demonstration of the M5 E60 "tuned to the max" in the style of BMW M, so with a lot more cornering power and still with an n/a engine - at least in this generation. | |
