ok....but what about 540d , a 3.5 or 4.0 V8......audis have V12 btw

525i – 2.5-litre straight-six
530i – 3.0-litre straight-six
535i – 3.0-litre straight-six twin-turbo
550i – 4.4-litre V8 twin-turbo
M5 – 4.4-litre V8 twin-turbo

550i and M5 appear to have same engines...not sure about that , M5 will most likely be 5.2 or 4.9 V10 bi turbo because I think this time they will go with the torque , not power


car and driver OFFICIALLY confirmed that the M5 will have V8 with twin turbos, they said that 550i will most likely decrease in liters but still will have a v8. i am not sure about 550i but they said that because of the fuel crisis and the direction that the BMW is heading with the economy and fuel efficient cars they had to make that choice, but the BMW M5 will most likely have around 550hp.
