Nobody knows... speculations based on some comments.
Very difficult to tell, specially due to the fact that most of the other cars "from the competition" are (or will be V8s).... C63, S and RS4, Lexus ISF, etc.
Even for the next M5 there is still speculation of a turbo V8 Vs a V10.
The RS6 has a twin turbo V10 (and even the S6 has a V10) so it's not easy for BMW to downgrade engine their engine unless they are really able to produce a Turbo V8 masterpiece......
Remember that one of the selling points for the current M5 is the engine.
I don't think the german power war is over....We will see.
