You may recall BMW took us on an extraordinary tease with its 1 Series M Coupé, drip feeding info at a rate that would impress a Chinese water torturer. Now they have followed up with this short teaser of the new M5.
The good thing for us is that it’s expected the new M5 will debut in Shanghai this coming April. If that’s the case they don’t have the time to drag out the promos.
As far as power, and lots of it, is concerned the M5 will start with the 4.4 litre twin turbo V8 found in the X5M and mess around with it a bit. Most likely improving efficiency and power before stuffing it under the F10 bonnet. BimmerFile predict the M5 will break the 4.0 second barrier on its way to 100km/h.

You can tell already that this will sound crap. It has the same muffled sort of turbo sound like the X5M. And that was in a tunnel!
Agreed. Sounds crapola even in a tunnel.
Doesn’t sound as good as the V10 in the old M5! I remember the neighbour had one and it sounded like an F1 car!
Can’t believe he traded it in for a 650i. WTF!
