Sorry o great one. We are not worthy

But seriously It hought it was just rumors about the M5. That is awesome that the M5 will be bumped to 5.5 liters. Im sure that will do wonders for the torque. But I wonder if the will have to lower the redline due to larger diplacement. I hope not. If the M5 goes to 550 or 575hp for sure I will definately get one no dought about it.

So Josh since it is true that the M5/6 is getting a big bump in power, is it also true that the M3 will have 450hp or more. It sounds believable now since I know for sure the V10 is getting an increase. What have you heard of the M3 power ratings?

As far as the twin turbo V10 in the RS6 I forgot what magazine it was in but it was a reputable one. And they had an article on the S6 and in that article it specifically said the RS6 will have a low pressure twin turbo version of the S6 motor. If you dont think it is true what have you heard it is going to have?
