I'll miss the sound of our V10's on the next gen M6.

As expected the folks at BMW won't talk about what the engine will be in the next generation M5 & M6.
When I mentioned to my contact lady that Board members consider the TT V-8 from the X5M and X6M to be a "truck engine" she was very surprised to hear that was the impression. She did say that people might want to reserve judgement on the motor until they have had a chance to drive it themselves. She assured me it is not just like the xDive50 in the normal X6 with more HP.

There are spy shots of the F-12 6 series (in camouflage) already posted. But the M version of the F-12 is not fixed. That means that they are still working on it. So it is not a fixed project as far and engineering is concerned. It will of of course be based on the F-12 6 series body. When I mentioned the future M6 at dinner tonight at dinner with my BMW contact, she said that no, I would not have seen an M6 prototype in any spy photos. A regular 6 series, yes, that was possible. But not an M6 prototype.
When I mentioned my guesses for various body/styling elements for the F-10 and F-12 5 series, she only smiled. But she did allow that the "design language" as seen in the new 750/760 will be seen in the upcoming 5 series cars. And yes, the F-11 would be the designation for the touring/wagon version of the 5 series.
She was surprised that the board members were so aware of the body series numbering. I guess she does not know how anal and geeky we all are.

Gosh I can only hope the new body style of the M6 is nowhere near the body style of the new 7 series.
I went to the new Seattle BMW Dealership open house 2 weeks ago and saw the new 7 series.
Take a look at the new 7 series photo below. What a hedious looking car, the front with the oversized kidney grille! OMG!
What a way to ruin a great car, BMW's flagship.
What were they thinking : (
