Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, put in your bids for the F10 M5 1/4 miles numbers. The winner with the correct time from the three major mags (average score) will win a free case of Corona (24 bottles) from me. I'll actually email it to you so you can get it faster. 
The three mags will be MotorTrend, Road & Track, and Car & Driver. The F10 M5 is going to be around 568 HP give or take a few more or less ponies. I imagine torque will be no less than 500. You already know that it will be heavier than the outgoing e60 M5 unless BMW will surprise us with more lighter composites (crossing my fingers). You know what engines will be (similar to x6M/x5M), and probably its weigh gain (based on the current F10), so have fun.
Based on my acceleration cystal ball, this is my guess:
11.4 seconds at 119 mph. That would be in the current GTR arena and competitive with the C7 in 2012 or 2014, whichever Chevy decides.
