![]() ![]() ![]() | Hmmm, I think you say this because of Scott´s speech. I wouldn´t hype myself with the M5 having an exclusive engine because even the M CEO said the X5 M and X6 M engine was comming to other cars. Also you have that BMW has now started to offer only a few engines, but with variety of degrees of tune and turbo charging (all the I6 line up for example). Also the numer 555 hp looks just perfect for the M5. |
