Yeah I'm sure all the M5 motors come with a pneumatic valve system

F1 motors are a far far cry from a road cars motors regardless of what the car makers would have you believe......

Well 8250RPM is good enough for now, 19,000 RPM another day

Go here for more details:M5 motor details

"
Inspired by the Formula 1 engine.
The engine was redesigned from scratch by the BMW M GmbH engineers. When constructing the power unit, the engineers drew inspiration from the BMW WilliamsF1 engine, which is generally regarded as the most powerful engine on the starting grid of the top echelon of motor sport. On the other hand, they transferred all M specific features from series-production automobiles, such as bi-VANOS, individual throttle butterflies and the most powerful engine electronics system currently available, an in-house development, as well as a traverse force regulated oil supply system.

In order to create a worthy successor of the previous M5, which features a 400 bhp V8 engine, it was essential to do one thing: to increase performance even further. In engine construction there are three possibilities for boosting performance: increase the cubic capacity and raise maximum torque in the process, boost performance by using a turbocharger or a compressor or use a high-revving concept to increase torque"

that the cylinder heads are made in BMW's F1 factory in Landshut gives owners a sense of F1 heritage. while the e60 m5 motor (S85 is it?) is really not close to an F1 engine, for a road car, especially at its price point, there really aren't any non-supercar motors with such f1 technology and principle as the m5's. the piston speeds are quite amazing for a road car, and it's an awesome motor.
