Next Generation 2011 BMW M5 F10 Further Details

That engine sounds sweeter than a sweaty, oiled-up Scarlett Johansson striving to gather enough strength to whisper thank you into your ear. And if the sound of turbo-whine is not to your liking, just replace the words "Scarlett Johansson" in the above sentence with "Bernie Ecclestone."

this car will tear all its competition apart... turbos are the way of the future... there's a reason why cars are better now, cause they're not like past cars... so those of you who reminisce grow up and accept change.

deep roar poised and gripy around the corners! nice! i cant wait till they put the exhaust that gonna come with it its gonna be hopefully louder! :) keep it BMW cant wait for it :)

THE SPOOLING!!! drool... Not a fan of the outgoing M5, and can't say it's that much better than the competition, but this car will blow it's competition out of the water. Really looking forward to it.

I like the idea of a twin-turbo V8 with a quick transmission. But the problem is, M cars are known for its high revving naturally aspirated engines. I would prefer the 5.5 V10 powertrain with DCT found in the E60 CSL instead. M engines are equivalent to Porsche's high screaming GT3 RS naturally aspirated flat six or Ferrari's stressed V8 found in the race stripped Stradale or Scuderia. It looks like the M people wants to compete with the 911 Turbo, Nissan GTR and Audi RS. I hope they know what they're doing, but to me the next generation M5 is like a 550i with DCT and plenty of M-enablems than a true M5. I mean look at what they did to the X5 M and the X6 M? I'd say put the 5.5 V10!

Oh what great news...bring tears to my eyes just reading the review...bring it and they will come...

M5 is not sexy enough, my money would be on a Jag XFR thanx.

This is going to be awesome, TT V8 will be great. Good thing about the new turbo generation is that the M3 will go back go an inline-6, hopefully not this romoured V6. I pray that they offer a proper 6-Speed manual for those who want it. For God's sake at least bloody offer it for those who want it - it is THE ultimate driving machine after all.

The sound is still disappointing, it's better than the x5/x6M but they are the worst sounding cars ever made by bmw M.

I've always loved the way the v10 sounds. It's so different from other engines. I'm gonna miss that, but turbos are indeed the way of the future.

theres going to be loads more performance parts for this car then the v10 m5, we are going to see atlest 100hp extra from tunners for next to nothing, ecu reflash, exhaust and intake

they had to do something with the current M5 and M6 in the top 5 list of global engine polluters. This runs contrary to all the advertising of how "green" the cars are. The car will probably be great for all the folks that want to drag race between traffic lights. But if its anything like the 335i motor it will quickly Overheat and radically scale back the power out put like the current problem they have. I feel bad for all the people who thought they had a decent car for the track.

Turbos make sense in general, but I can't avoid thinking it doesn't fit with BMW Motorsport: the original idea of M cars was to provide racing feelings on 4-seats cars, thus the screaming high-rev engines. Now they are "just" another powerful sedan like the others (Audi, MB...)

BMW lost there soul when they abondoned LeMans prototype racing in favor of supporting yacht racing. Think about it! They are very successful and build great cars but not who they used to be. They will build traffic light race cars for stiffs in suits.

All the owner of a M5 needs is for the turbo to blow...
