VIDEO: CAUGHT During Testing, BMW's F10 M5 Takes OFF

Although we were one of the first to bring you video of the M6 in testing, we've got something a tad bit better.

Once again, it is not the BEST video of the new X5/6M-derived powerplant in action, but it does give you an idea of what it'll sound like in the next couple of years. And from what we hear below, it definitely sounds like an X5/6M with forced induction.

Listen to the F10 M5 take off HARD down below...

Oh yeah, and if you want to see some video of the 6-Series cab, it is also in there.


Featured in this latest batch of scoop videos are the all-new 2011 M5 sedan, M6 Coupe as well as the 6-Series Convertible [notice the Mercedes SLS AMG Gullwing?], all of which are most likely to go on sale sometime next year. Both the new M5 saloon and M6 coupe say bye-bye to the current models' naturally-aspirated 10-cylinder unit and welcome a reworked version of the X5 / X6 M's twin-turbocharged V8.

Output figures remain a secret, but it is believed that in the M5 and M6, the V8 turbo will churn more than the 555HP and 680Nm or 501-lbs/ft of peak torque it does on the X5 M and X6 M, flirting closer to the 600HP mark...
