This horsepower power is going bit insane. Okay great, 600 horsepower sounds great and all but so what, it shouldn't me the only reason for introducing new model.

///M also was opposed to the idea of an M7...guess times change.

they already started marketing the 4.8 X5 as an M-sport model even if they don't really want an ///M SUV.

BMW M was also against putting a manual tranny in the M5 since it was designed only for the SMG, but BMW NA forced it upon them. Guess market demand will always win out.

There is already some bloke who twin turbo'ed his M5, and he lives in CA or SF if i can remember correctly... Its in the featured in the BMW mag, the M5 kicks out insane torque and massive hp, 800+ just to spice things up a bit, although the driver wont be running it at full boost for daily driving. And if memory serves me right, i think the turbos are not mounted under the bonnet, its mounted at the back of the wastegate, close to the exhaust.
