The BMW Germany website has been updated and now list the 740i/il & 750i/il with pricing and hp...
740iMotor 8 Zylinder
Hubraum 4.000 ccm
KW / PS 225 / 306
750iMotor 8 Zylinder
Hubraum 4.799 ccm
KW / PS 270 / 367
so this says about 306hp for the 4.0 and 367 for the 4.8
now, the question is when does the E60 get these?

Question on the rumors of the E60 engine update -- why would they bother to add another model, change the badging and increase the horsepower for the 545 if it would only be for another 30 horses or so? I know they've done this before, but the 545 hasn't been out that long (I've had mine only 8 months) and the performance difference would be minor. It would however, upset a great many of us who own the current model.
I believe the 545 has more than enough power with a 0-60 of 5.3 what more do you need? If you need more get the M5. I really don't care to spend more on a car that does it in 5.1

Oh they're adding another model? I thought they were simply updating the badging adn the engine.
