Future M5 ENGINE?
There have been much speculation that BMW plans on offering a twin-turbo V10 in the refreshed M5. Perhaps even the next-gen M5 which is less than 2 years away. It could be possible considering the Audi RS6 has 580hp, and the CTS-V will have 550. This article leads me to believe it could possibly be a detuned version of this:

"Looks like Bmw took this decision in order to close the mouth of the people who thought that the V10-powered M6 Coupe is just an overweight GT which compromised the performances for confort. The new car will show to all sport cars fans that the Bavarian automaker still has a word to say in this field."
BUILD IT.

Not going to happen, 2 years is too soon for a new M5. More like 4 years from now.
More info: [B]According to the source, the new car will feature a front-mounted V10 engine with a pair of turbochargers bolted on. The motor will be built from a completely new design and include an Infineon ECU developed by BMW
