We're worried about the next //M5 sounding like a gasoline powered Dyson. First rumor of an 8spd gearbox, then this teaser video - color me perturbed.

In a tunnel you expect the cars exhaust rumble/echo through the tunnel, but in the video its fairly quiet except for tire and wind noise.
I would guess, BMW may be hinting at a electric boost feature of some type. |

Bah I don't think they will screw it up, the 5 series is their most important platform in my opinion (yes even more than the 3er just in terms of image not sales numbers) and the M5 is the M brand's flagship, I guess we will have to wait and see, but I have faith...

Can't wait to see this in person. BMW knows what they are doing and this beast looks to prove it. Anyone else think this teaser looks CGI?

M5s used to be V8, only the last one was a v10. But I guess some people already made up their minds that they will hate this car no matter how awesome it is because of a V8 turbo. So don't buy it! Go buy a E63 or CTS-V, oh wait those will have turbo/SC as well. I guess you could always go with an underperforming Audi.

Video of the sound of the engine
Guys look of what i've done, i'm a noob in these sort of things so please, just listen xD
You can listen the start and the acceleration.. I've done an editing, and ripped off the sound from the video, here it is: Hope you enjoy it, I know it's only a seconds but c'mon, it's a BMW M5..

I did some rough calculations by rate of acceleration, vs time cosine, and shadows reflecting off the car etc
That has 585.5 hp |

Wow, look forward to seeing the new F10 M5 fully unveiled. Anyone have any idea when is the confirmed date of Production. I remember reading March 2012 somewhere in this forum. So it means, the cars only be out on roads in mid to end 2012?? That seems a pretty long time to wait after the official unveiling.....
