My Ride: 2008 535i: June 6th start build, complete June 17th, at NY Port July 5th, at dealer July 10th, took delivery Friday July 13- Plantimum Bronze/Natural Brown Leather/Light Poplar, Sport Package, Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium Package, CWP & PDC. Dinan Performance Software 384hp & 421 ft/lbs.
The new MX6 has the TT V8 and is listed at 555 hp/500 ftlbs. This maybe insight into the powerplant of the M F10. No new Grand Turismo 5 here, thought we might get a preview of the new F10 through that.

My Ride: 2006 550i sport package, manual, black on black w/ anthracite trim, pdc, logic 7, cold weather pkg.
That amount of torque is insane!
If thats the case for the new M5, it should be able
to run the quarter mile well under 12 seconds.
Those are 911 Turbo times!!!!!!!

If the motor is already producing 555 bhp in MX6 duty, there's no reason why it can't tweak the motor a bit and get bhp up to 600.
With this kind of motor, BMW can not only boast that its cars have the best handling in the class but that they are the FASTEST in the class.

This motor will be a welcome relief. It pisses me off that a $65K Caddy CTS-V can smoke a MS in bot a straight line and at the race course and that a MB E63 is faster than a stock M5 in acceleration.

A Mazda (MX6) with a 555hp engine? Wow.
