all BS except Currency respect to them Leehman usually do some fake PS stuff and sometimes has a good spy pic...

Today we give 567 LE (see. Alex:br lol) and that is capable 330 km/h. More than enought

In any case my vote is for THUNDER 560 LE 4,3 sec As I heared we may also have here some...

No matter what else, there will definitely be a revised M5 out soon with more horsepower.

Obviously, the pressure from the RS6 suggests this, but the existence of the new Alpina B5S with an official rating of 530PS confirms it, as Alpina's not really supposed to make cars which are rated higher than the M-cars (although they can always under-rate them, of course!)

Looks like a PS. Also the car didn't have BMW plate numbers ...

Alex, this IS a BMW license plate. A pretty new one...

But they do stuff like that very often, just to confuse photographers.
Could be a PS too, but could be real. If real, you can't tell what engine is in it just by that pic.
