V10 confirmed - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Vince5 · 22nd April 2002, 14:02

Had a chat with my dealer. A very serious guy. He confirmed that the E60 will come with a V10. No comments so far on the power.

Well V8 or 10 or 12

As long as it's not supercharged and still leaves AMG behind

especially when it comes to handling and sport feeling.

My view on this is that I trust BMW M to win the day again. Be patient, don't go over to AMG just because it's new and temporarily faster, you may regret it when the BEAST makes a comeback !
