LCI changed everything but a V8. What do you guys think on possibility of a new engine in the near future?

At one point a 4.4L V-8 twin turbo was rumored for the next gen 7 series (due out sometime in 2008 as a 2009) ... which could then make its way into the 5 series.

More recently there has been talk about a direct injection V-8 (420HP) being developed for the next generation 5 series ... but it may debut in the Progressive Activity Sedan in 2009.

Either way, Ricracing probably has it right ... nothing new until the F10.

Apparently( actually my dealer has confirmed this now) the X6 is getting the TT, and it would make sense that the 7 would get it too.I think tachyon has more of the "poops and scoops" on the other engine.
Cheers
