My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.

The following M5 will have the same TT V8 engines as the new X5 and X6 M's have.
It can be programmed to some 600 hp+ and 800 Nm.

The new ZF made 8-speed gearbox seems to hold some 750 Nm
in the 6.6 liter TT V12 in the 760i and the new RR Ghost,
and from 1 500 rpm!

Also note that the now official X6 ActiveHybrid has 485 hp and 780 Nm with
real electric, hybrib gearbox...

Yes, with the TT V8 in the X5M and X6M making 550 bhp and 500 lbs-ft of torque, which can probably be raised easily to close to 600 bhp, there is little economic justification for BMW to spend tens of millions -- or more -- on the development costs for a TT V10. The new MB E63 "only" has 518 bhp and 465 lbs-ft of torque (http://motortrend.automotive.com/112...iew/specs.html), figures that are considerably exceeded by the TTV8 in the X5M and X6M.

Yeah but when MB thows a super charger on the e63 watch the fuck out!

V8 TT with 575hp & 522lbs/ft of torque with internals and tranny that can handle 800hp....for the tuners.

+1

and when you have an engine like 550hp it can be boosted by change of header, catalysts and exhaust +ECU mod upto 700HP!!!

My Ride: 2008 E60 M5/SMG (LCI) Interlagos Blue/Black Merino Aux input, sun protection glass, Bluetooth, Voice control

voted TT V8 which has been heavily rumoured anyhow. makes sense as the new XM's already running this powerplant. Also, haven't we had confirmation of the new M3 to be taken back down to 6cl's once again .. with a TT set-up?
