New F10 M5 Engine Spy shot

[George Smooth]

A lot of the naysayers have been commenting about how special the new M5 is going to be and that the motors have been carried over and used in the X5/6M etc. Photos have now surfaced of part of the motor and it seems the whole charge and intake track is completely different which means this engine will be more special and is not just a boosted X5/6M motor.
Photo courtesy of the M5board.

For reference here are pictures of the X5/6M motor. Note how much smaller the charge coolers are.

It will be easier than working on an f10 6cyl turbo, since the engine is shorter, there will be more space, and the turbos are easy to access (since they are inside the V)

That motor looks freaking insane :dropjaw:, imagine the tuning possibilities :shocked:

Estimated 425kw off the bat before the mods start, will truely be a super car killer of note when tuned! If I had the cash my fence would be bent right over a long time ago
