Looks like the 2011 BMW M5 will be getting a sweet new engine. In this case, bigger is not better, and despite the speculation of their super-sedan continuing to house a twin-turbo V10 engine, looks like this isn't the case:
"...with CO2 concerns, fuel economy standards and the fact that the V10 isn't available in much of anything else in BMW's lineup, it seems like the next-gen M5 will probably find its motive power supplied by a V8 instead...With 555 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque, it falls right in the ballpark with other supersedan outputs."
To me, it's still swag on wheels. The .5, .6, point-whatever second difference in acceleration would only really matter if you're counting that stuff. Moral of the story: still bad-ass!
