Next BMW 5 Series Sedan and Wagon Spied Testing, again
February 17, 2008
I doubt BMW will be using turbos in the M5.
At the local M3 launch last year, we had a live feed with some of the boys from M division and they were asked whether or not turbos will be used in M cars, they replied by saying that F1 will dictate the technology in M cars, so if the rules change in F1 and turbo cars are allowed, then they will make their way in to the M cars.
Along with this, BMW M is working on high precision injection for the new lot of M cars - this didnt make it into the current ones because they didn't have the technology at the time.
BMW has also hinted that lightweight construction is the key for all new M cars, so maybe BMW won't exceed the RS6's power output?
