Car: FZ50 GTR Rep Power: 15  | ///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.

Rep Power: 11 | 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.

Car: 2007 E87 BMW 130i Rep Power: 28 | 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. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/23/c...twin-turbo-m5/
