I wonder what we will be able to retrofit onto the F10. Turbos, exhaust manifold, downpipe, injectors, tune?

The e60 came in with a SMG first then the next year came out with a manual.

I have a feeling it would come out especially if it does not sell well initially.

I just don't think they will release it with manual. They have said multiple times that the F10 was the last M5 in manual and especially with these new power gains I just don't think they have high enough demand for it.

But time will tell. I certainly hope that we do get manual!

Exactly. The idea itself of having a manual is sexy but when it comes down to it, for most people it just isn't practical. Either they have kids or get calls or do city driving or whatever it's just harder with a manual no matter how fun it is.

I personally love them but even for me as a Real Estate Agent, constantly getting calls or something while driving can be a real pain with a manual even when I have bluetooth and all that.

I read the specs on the new motor, it said it had 24 psi boost. I wonder if it will perform the same as an S63TU with 24 pound boost?

24psi wow
