Is the 2006 or 2007 545i gonna get the new V8 hence 550i?

If new for 2006 then September 2005 production?

The 5 Litre valvetronic engine is at least 2 years away from production (translation: it will be a 2007 at the earliest) My money is on 2 1/2 years away as an early 2008 model.

Why you ask??!!

Couldn't they just use the 4.8 liter V8 in the X5?
