Looking good, this thing is gonna be a monster. Lets just hope they dont mess up the rear lights like the new 7. tuners will have the twin tubro v8 producing 580hp no problem. 4.4liters times 130hp liter = 576.. this thing is gonna be disgustingly sick I mean like WTF sick!!!!

Wheels are fugly but I'm sure they're not production. I remember the mule E92 M3 had ugly wheels for a while, then the last SG mule had matte black production 19s.

V10 please

BMW originally leapfrogged Mercedes and Audi by using a V10 on the M5.

It will be ashame to leave the legacy to Audi. Audi has the same emission constraints as other auto makers and if they can continue to make a case for the V10, I don't suppose why BMW can't do the same.

I agree that a twin turbo V8 will produce more power than the current 5.0 V10. But a turbo charged V10 will no doubt has even higher horse power.

Audi just confirmed an RS7 (based on the upcoming A7) with a twin turbo 5.0 liter V10 producing 600hp. V10s will also continued be used in the RS6 and S8

But the weight on the front axle will always provoke understeer..

so a lighter TT V8 might be a better option than simply more HP

I saw this exact same car at the Nürburgring before the public evening session opened up yesterday when I was there (July 2nd, on my European Delivery).

Looked like there was a 5er GT there also.
