Word is 562HP is HIGHLY underrated.
with the exception of that horrible tranny in the
original v-10, I have always loved these cars. Plus
with all the aftermarket stuff available, they are
infinitely customizable.

I agree and the use of turbos will create a whole new line of aftermarket goodies and high HP cars!

I am sold on the potential alone. The pics of the Saloon version floating around the net is stunnig. Something about an 800hp sedan is appealing to say the least! There is a video on you tube that clears shows that they will offer a 6 speed!

Its always nice to see a new M model. I know it has more horses, but does it feel and sound like an M5?
I lot of people got a shock when they saw an E60 M5 just because the looks where away different from an E39. BUT SIRs, when you press on the gas in an e60 m5, you know every time you are in business. Its the sensation in driving an e60, the roar of a v10, that makes this model one of the best M's BMW has made.
The reason they went to a twin turbo is because its cheaper to make, not because its better.
Sorry guys, but the people in the M department became economist first than BMW enthusiast.
