With the launch of the next generation F10 BMW 5-Series arriving in 2010, the
high-performance M5 version is to follow a year later. However, the M5 will
lose its Formula One inspired naturally aspirated V10 engine, according to
Automotive News.

2010 年 BMW 將發表 new 5-series (F10)，M5 當然也不能缺席，跟著在 2011 年發表。
new M5 將放棄目前使用的 V10 自然進氣引擎。

Despite the low volume 2002 Turbo of 1973 and E23 745i of the mid 1980's, BMW
engineers have historically turned away from forced induction in favor of
high revving naturally aspirated engines - from a performance point of view.
However, with turbo technology advancements over the past decade, turbo
charging has turned into a viable alternative to high displacement engines
with comparable performance characteristics.

隨著渦輪增壓技術不斷創新，自然進氣引擎優勢似乎不再持續。
（這段我承認是亂翻的...XD）

The first evidence of the changing BMW mindset was in 2006 with the award
winning N24 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline 6 cylinder engine found in the BMW
335i E92 Coupe. Since them, this engine has found its way into the entire BMW
model range.

第一項證據：
BMW 在 2006 年以 335i E92 身上的 3.0 升直六雙渦輪增壓引擎贏得世界引擎大獎。
接著發生什麼事大家都知道，就是這顆引擎不斷出現在 BMW 各車款身上。

PS：2005 年度最佳引擎－BMW 5.0 升 V10 自然進氣
2006 年度最佳引擎－BMW 5.0 升 V10 自然進氣
2007 年度最佳引擎－BMW 3.0 升 直六雙渦輪增壓
2008 年度最佳引擎－BMW 3.0 升 直六雙渦輪增壓 （BMW有洗板嫌疑!!!!!!）

Therefore, it's no surprise, BMW's newest turbo engine, the 4.4-liter V8
found in the X6 SUV, will be optimized for more power and put into the new M5
model due in 2011. According to an insiders, the new M5 will produce, "400 kW
(536hp) and more of output."

因此，BMW 打算將 X6 身上的 4.4 升 V8 雙渦輪增壓引擎動點小手腳，再把它塞進
new M5 的引擎室裡，廠內人員表示，new M5 至少可爆發 536 匹馬力。

Currently, Audi holds the horsepower title amongst German auto makers with
their 580hp twin turbo V10 Audi RS6.

目前 Audi 還是以 RS6 的 580 匹馬力傲笑其他德國車廠！
