The new BMW M5

[supermanbenz]

Hello everyone. I'm a new member of automotiveforums. I just want to say the M5 is one of my favorite cars! (What I mean is, I wish I owned one.)

By the way, does anyone know when the expected redesign of the M5 is? And how it might look?

Thanks.

Yea man i Agree the m5 is an awesome car-i wouldnt mind having one myself. What sort of car do you drive at the moment. I currently am having an engine transplant done on my 528i motorsport I am having a 3.5 motor put in and it has been ported and polished the block decked, rods polished and a few other mods. It should have around 260-275 horsepower when it is finished.-does anyone know about modifying the 3.5 litre engine out of the 635csi?

The New 5 comes out around September, expect the M5 about a year after that.

It will have a 5.5 Liter V10 with 500bhp. The 530i will have a 240bhp I-6 and the 545i a 325bhp V8.

This is the new 5 series Spy Shots (not an M5):

Notice the I-Drive knob!


These don't seem to have too much camo on them (if you can't seem them, then cut and paste the URL):

No but why would BMW make a v10? For High demand or to appeal to more people?

to intergrate their F1 program into their street cars, so people have an F1 engine in their streetcar.

You've probably noticed that BMW do not use any forced induction in their cars. E39 M5 - N/A, same with M3s and all the other cars. Thats why there was no other method that was feasible to make a 600hp engine (for the Mclaren F1), because at the time the car was made BMW was not in F1, and they still had their drive not use turbos etc, so they got two M3 engines fused as one (with all relevant work being done). Thats why BMW now have a V10 F1 engine in their car, too save money through economies of scale rather than designing a whole new engine.

MB use forced induction, on a lot of their cars, like the S600, and thats why they have been involved in making powerful cars, done by the use of turbos Audi also use turbos.

Competitors to BMW M5:

Audi RS 6
Mercedes E55 AMG
Jaguar S Type R

BMW will probably use turbos in the 2007 M3
the first prototypes of the normal series i see here cruising arround munich. you cannot see much. still huge carmouflage...
it will probably be a V8 Turbo...
these are just rumours here. i don´t know if they are true. but from good sources i heard the same...
