I wonder where these guys are getting their information? They are claiming that AWD will be optional, power output will be 626hp, and weight will be dropped by about 100kg. Interesting, but I take their information with a grain of salt.
Either way, it's nice to know that the next M5 is well on its way, but every time I hear that it's going to have the same V8 TT setup as the F10 my heart sinks and I'm already disappointed. I know it's too early to judge, but I feel like I'm the only one who cares that M is too lazy to design or is not allowed to design a whole new generation of high performance engine for the Flagship M car of BMW. Interesting times are ahead that's for sure. http://gtspirit.com/2016/03/08/2018-...-shots-sweden/

I hope the one grain of salt that stays on the table is the "possibility of an M5 Touring."
If they give me a wagon I will overlook the lack of a new power plant.

Everyone is going the turbo route including Ferrari, and BMW already has a good one and is milking it. |

I understand that everyone is going turbo these days and in the future. I can't help but feel that this next generation M5 marks the beginning of the end of internal combustion engine development for the ///M Brand. Never again are we going to see another truly innovative design like the S85 from ///M. I also understand that by not developing a whole new engine BMW is saving millions in R&D costs, but they are killing the essence of the car I tell you. I don't even care if they design a new kind of turbo engine, just make something different and more exciting. I know that the S63tu has a lot of untapped potential, you could probably run that engine with 800hp for 200,000 miles no problem, but where's the excitement of running the same engine with the same characteristics and the same sound for 10-12 years. I just can't drive a car in the future with the same engine as I have now. Not unless they did a complete redesign of the V8 TT design itself.

Same engine
E34 engine was an evolution of the E28. Obviously the E39 and E60 engines were stand alone engines. The F10 engine is shared with the XM5 and XM6...which in itself is a travesty. Just like when every new M car that comes out everyone complains and moans and then buy into the new car. The next M5 is three or four model years away in the US anyway....

Next M5
The real problem with the future of this car is the price point. I bet the next version is close to 150K loaded.

$150k for a car with the same engine as the F10 does not float my boat. :/

Regarding this new car, I think it's far too early to count it out for a few reasons. We still don't know what they'll do to this engine. What if it has water injection from the M4 GTS? It'll be lighter and off the line with Xdrive, this thing should be seriously quick. I'm far more excited about this next car than the current one personally. Unfortunately, as someone else said in this thread, the price will be eyewatering and completely out of my league anyway.

M5 touring in AWD would blow my mind...
and then they will cancel this as soon as my hopes are up. If audi hasn't sent their avants over, i doubt BMW will.

I'd sell every car I have for one. That would be perfect.

Next generation ///M5
Just like all the previous iterations the new M5 will be a beast and the measuring stick for every other super saloon. This moniker created the segment and still owns it IMHO. Benz, Audi, Cadillac, Jag etc. all want to create the following the ///M5 has and so far have fallen short. The closest competitor is the E63S AMG (which I own) and even that in ultra cool wagon form misses the mark. If the next car were to be lighter with the exact same engine it would be a winner.
