yeah after u told me about it i checked it out pretty nice but i found something pretty cool out bmw is thinking about taking the v10 out of the m5 and dropping a v8 turbo in to it. they r using the motor out of the x6 i think. the report said that so far they r liking the testing so far so we may see a turbo m5 in 2011

 

jriggs yeah throw the links on here so if anyone else wants to check that out then cool. i'm in the sandbox so this is all i do till i come home lol

 

if the mods don't like other forums being posted feel free to remove i don't think these will really sway anyone away from tr/tf per say

nice well like them this is a place where u can talk and learn alot of shit u know there is someone out here that know alil more than u so but thanks for putting the info out

 

My brother got his information directly from employees of the BMW M-Company in Munich when he was attending the service technician trainings.


and yes, the new M5 will get a V8 TT too.

 

yeah the v10 only gets one generation in the m5 it's almost a shame because i LOVE the sound and power band of the M5 and M6

 

i don't see y they don't just tt the v10 that would be a force to be seen i wish there was a way we could submit suggestions to bmw and this topic

 

I assume that they will face the same problem as they already have with the V8 TT....the turbos are be found between the cylinder banks, which causes some trouble in the cooling.

My brother can supply you with pictures of the engine when he gets online, he also can tell you something more about it than I could do.

besides, the german V8 and V10 engines are capable to rev WAY higher than the american motors.....I'm no engine specialist, but I think the costs for the cars would be much higher just to make the engines last under boost.
