The heart of the upcoming BMW F10 M5 seen live for the first time!

Quote:

The folks over at M5Board have posted the first picture of the upcoming F10 M5 Engine. What is known so far is that this motor is based on the Twin Turbo V8 power-plant currently found the X5 and X6 M with some modifications. The Twin Turbo V8 is rumored to produce more power and torque then the equivalent X5/X6M unit while producing 25% less emissions then the older V10 powered E60 M5.

The new M5 is a great looking car. I haven't been following the development much, but will it be available with a manual gearbox?

BossM is an unknown quantity at this point

Still, that engine compartment looks a bit weird (those fridge-like pipes)...but who really cares how it looks, as long it will perform as we expect!!!
