As much as I want to agree with you, I think the M5 moniker is a halo brand and its equity around the world is comparable to the marques coming out of Maranello, S'ant Agata and Stuttgart. That is why I want to beleive this article. This will get the M5 dangerously close into supercar territory and the forced induction will appease even the most arduous fanatics. I cant wait to see how many torques this thing has. Hopefully it wont be heavier than the E60
