Interesting information here.

It's impossibile, iver : a 555 would be faster than that tank of the M5

Perhaps the M5 will receive an update at the same time...

No, I guess it won't happen with E60 ... Surely on F10 (550-570 HP ?), but not on the E60 the last two years . Imho .
In any case, I would prefer the 4.4T

Keep in mind, companies file for lots of trademarks that ultimately do not get used.
True. But there will be a 555. Sound just right. Like my next 5er.

This is crazy... during the 7 years of the E39 they didnt even update the engines at all for all 7 years... I think they might have boosted the 540 like 7hp during the last year of production but in the 4-5 years the of the E60s life it has received like a million different engines.
