No ///M logo on wing vents either. the 535d has plenty enough grunt so why bother with a 550d ?
Just because they can I suppose, and because Audi VW have V8 diesels. Apparently it has 1000Nm of torque, no power fiqures yet but it's bound to be around the 400 mark.Coming in the 3 series as well I've been told in 2009.

The air intakes look like a bad photoshop to me, not to mention crap. Sounds like an interesting idea mind but a shame BMW feel the need to strap on turbo power to play the power game, it can only end in a bang, or am I getting old.
Agreed, definitely looks like a bad photochop.Although a turbo on an M5 sounds "interesting", especially from the factory.

They're too late anyway...Audi has alreadu moved the game on with the RS6. M5 is down on power by 80bhp. And the Audi will be a whole lot nicer inside.J.

Anyone seen that Californian twin turbo M5? I saw an underbody pic - the turbos are where the rear silencers normally sit by the rear bumper!! Apparently heat and underbonnet packaging (not to mention ECU) were big problems. Can't believe turbo lag is not an immense problem with whole car-lengths of plumbing to the turbos

800bhp but the rims and interior I would say is a accquired taste.
