Powertrain upgrades for the M5 LCI?

Hi everyone,

As you may or may not have seen, Merc is testing its 4Matic E63 AMG. Motor Trend said that it will do 0-60mph in about 3.4secs. Will the M5 be dethroned by Mercedes? The LCI for the M5 should give it more torque, and, somehow, more grip. I'm not saying that ///M should start making xDrive BMWs, but look at what AMG did with 4Matic.

I'd hate to see people criticizing the M5 in comparison with the E63.

Also, think of this: some say that even the Panamera GTS is a better driver's car than the M5 because of its constant responsiveness to the road, and it is just 0.1 secs slower to 60mph. BMW should wake up. Were have all of the "legendary" M genes gone?
