the new 500hp V10 isn't going to go in an M5 but rather in the new 6-series. I really hope this is recent enough to be news.

If not, close the post cuz i've been out of the loop for 4 months.

um i dont know what par of that site you ment to link, but im sure that the engine will end up in both the M5 and M6

[TT]

Yes we had already some discussions, and it's already official that both the M5 and M6 will have the same powerplant.

Its astonishing in terms of looks , and of course BMW will have a 500hp V10 , or they cant compete with Audi and Merc Super saloons

The M6 misses the boat a little bit.. almost looks like a 350Z that put on a few pounds and a bodykit.

Thankfully the Bangles era is over... ;)

That´s hopefully going to be one THE BMWs to have. Looks much better than the regular 6 which is already really impressive.

i dunno.. i just can't get over their looks. lately i've gone from being all about performance and not caring about looks or interiors.. but its starting to become more important now for me. not that i could ever really afford an M car..

wasn't that posted in autocar about 6 mths ago? honestly, i don't mind the M6. Or anything tuned by M really. I guess i'm biased. Lol.

Not quite. . . his protege Adrian van Hooydonk has taken over. He was the one that penned the Bangle Ass.

The car.

man this car to me looks brilliant, I don't know what it is you don't like about it. To me BMW has sculpted a clean and classic shape for this car. It'll be one of those shapes that you really grow towards.

Also with that engine, who could dislike anything about it? and best of all its a BMW :)

645 is already total sportscar.. if they plant M5's new engine into it it will be mindblowing. But the price difference is very small.. new 645Ci starting price here in estonia is already 100 000$ USD.. Will the M6 have the same pricetag? :shock: I do believe that M6 will go for like 120 000 USD here.. Sure i'd like to test it out hough.. :)

[he7lius]

Now that's something to look foward to. :D
Looks great. :D

The new BMW 6 series looks great especially in flesh, it is great to drive and by installing the new bmw v10 its simply going to be a hard to beat combination. I dont understand people saying that it looks like crup, the car looks great and even fanatic MBs fans have admitted that to me which rarely happens. I cant wait for the new m6

[Vansquish]

I don't think I'd have one even though I'm sure it will be extremely fast and very capable. It's still a Bangle-ized car...and it's really horrid to look at. The only Bangle car I can stand at the moment is the new 5-series...the best of which is the M5...but even that is a bit dumpy looking from some points.

To all of you who don´t like the car and to all who don´t understand why; have you ever heard that beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
Some like nore conventional designs and some more radical and new, to each his own. :)

As for me, all I can say is that I LOVE it 8) and with that (at least) 500 hp V10 it´s going to be one hell of a performer too. I just hope that there will be a CSL version with carbon roof and everything and that I can afford one someday. :D
