Yeah, it was very disappointing the 2016 M5 didn't get the 600HP CP package. I was hoping it would. And as we get closer to the debut of G30 5 series, now I am on the fence whether to order the 2016 M5 or wait two more years for the new M5.

I live in Taiwan which means full optioned M5 will cost me close to 300k, but second hand M5 like 2012 or 2013 goes around for 120k, so that means if I want to upgrade to G30 M5 when it comes out, I will have to take a huge hit. My wife is having none of that, she said if I buy the F10 M5, I will have to drive it at least 6 years.

P.S. With BMW so profit oriented, I maintain it's likely the G30 M5 is just a 600HP V8 twin turbo with new chassis. I doubt it will have a brand new engine.
