This post hit on the same subject.

Odds are that the next generation 7 series would get the twin-turbo treatment first ... and then pass it down to the 5 series - probably starting with the F10 model.

My dealer manager has been invited to Spartanburg as part of a special products group for a "SURPRISE" test drive ,apparently the X6, he did confirm it would have a TT 400 HP engine , so I'm sure that the 5 series will get this as the V8 upgrade as well . We have heard they registered 555 as a brand mark so it is very likely makes a lot of sense.

Cheers

The rumors tell about a V8 twin turbo. Maybe developed from the current 4.8 l.
