You have about maximum 7-14 days to decide before production is stopped.

Strange if they should have different engines?

- the new F10 M5
- and a special anniversary M5 also based on the F10 model

I don´t know -
but it would not make any sense to produce 2 different cars, would be much cheaper to make a special lightweighted edition or something like this.

Also the presented vid of the new m5 on the ring showed a V8 sound not a V10 ...

I am sorry but it appears to me two different cars.

1) Is about the New F10

2) Is about the current 25 year special edition e60 M5. With a V10 that revs to 9000 RPM, and is perceived to have 600hp and DCT.

There is a "25 year anniversary BMW M5" E60 but thta is only painted in Frozen Gray and bicolour interiour to my knowledge: 25th Anniversary M5

HD+ video and pictures: IAA Frankfurt Premiere BMW M6 Competition Edition; also available for the BMW M5 and M5 Touring

I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but I have read the original text and the following was said (nothing more): (1) they drove an anniversary edition of the E60 M5 on the Nordschleife, (2) the new M5 will definitely have 20% lower fuel consumption, and (3) BMW refused to comment when the reporter suggested that the new M5 would have 600 hp, a V10 and a 9000 rpm redline.
Wish it were true....

LOL you just burst my bubble. So you are saying the article didn't mention that they were riding INSIDE the new F10 prototype car, but were actually inside an E60 asking the questions?? That sucks

hahaha...where were you about two pages ago!?

i propose that from here forth you are the board's german translator.

any potentially speculative thread on the f10, which is based on any german story/write up, should be reviewed and translated by you first!
