I got new Autocar and there was news about M-cars. Iceman has told us that M6 will have more hp than M5 and this article conforms that, but only in CLS form.
Pictures are poor because I took those with poor digicamera. I can try to scan those in if some one like to read article.
M1 with M5 technology in line 3,0L 6 and about 310 hp with red line 8500 rpm, 7-s SMG, 1500kg, 0-60 5,8s, 155 mph (limited)
M3 early 2006 in 4D sedan, cabriolet and 2D coupe
Z4M same engine with new M3 but less power
M6 late 2005, about 70000,- ? in UK, 4,6s to 0-62ml, 1710 kg, 2D hard top and cabrio
M6 CLS most likely on sale 2007
M7 with 6.0L V12

I heard that it was going to be called an M2 so as not to be confused with the original M1.
