f10 M5 engine?

Knowing that the F10 550i has a v8 tt, is it still believed the M5 will have the same engine but tweaked a bit?

I would not put my money on the M Division starting with the same basic engine - it's not how M has operated up to now.

Old M5 and Audi S6 both come in V10, new F10 550i come in V8 Twin Turbo.

If new M5 come in V8 Twin Turbo, even though come with VTG (Variable Turbine Geometry).
Will it be hard to distinguish between 550 and M5.
Consumer of this class of vehicle, respect and advance technology is very important, they may want to have some more differences.

I wish new M5 will be unveiled soon.

Both the X6 and the X6M have twin turbo v-8s, but the engines are different. If this helps you any.

OK.
If you're going to make that claim, why don't you list all the EXACT differences.

My SA said that may be a tuned version of X5/M engine.
I read within this forum, rumors said that BMW has experiment V10 Twin Turbo.
Any chance V10 Twin Turbo?

This has probably been brought up before, but what makes me nervous is having the turbos sitting in the valley like that. Heat (and the motor's reliability/longevity) is going to be an issue.

I really like the new F10, and I think the M5 will finally bring me back to BMW. But I'll still wait until 2012 and watch the bugs get ironed out (I just personally never like to buy first year models.)

I've been waiting to see the official announcement about the 5 series, and the M5, etc. Like many others, I think they will be great cars. Unfortunately, as I told my local dealer, I won't be buying a 5 due to BMW's insistence on the turbo thing. (Commie Libs) I know that I'm probably a red-neck southerner who couldn't care less about fuel economy, emissions, etc., but I like naturally aspirated cars. I drive my cars in excess of 150k miles. Regardless of what happens, work will need to be done on the turbos, if not replacement on a car of 150k-175k miles. Further, driving the car in Houston TX heat will exacerbate those issues. No thanks. Though I think the W212 E63 may not end up being as attractive as the M5, it is normally aspirated, at least for a couple more years. (I know that MB is headed to turbos in the next few years as well - for the same reasons as BMW) I just thought I'd add a little red-neck flavor to the board...
