i thought i heard a rumor of x drive being in the new m5. I guess the lsd kinda makes up for it. I was wondering how the power was gonna be put to the ground. That is a lot of ponnies!

Also fitting a mechanical LSD would still not make it an M5. Nor fitting different springs nor something else... in the end an M5 is an M5 with all the goodies that come with it.

lol this speak reminds me of the little fight i saw on the forums between the 535 and 550 on how buying a 535 with a remap is a 550 so why spend an extra 10k, lol I love my 550 because of the v8 you cant get the same exhuast notes on a I6

Not sure about the x drive for the F10 M5 as it will add too much additional weight and go against the raw sporting heritage of rear-wheel drive a proper M needs. Ok, the exception to the rule is the X5M and X6M but some argue the M Division sold out when they conceived these.
