I agree that S68 is pretty much guaranteed, but S58 is a plenty suitable option if given sufficient electric power. But yes BMW doesn't seem to be going that route.

The upcoming C63 is going to be a 4-cylinder PHEV, and the next E63 might do the same.

I'm surprised S68 PHEV is able to meet future Euro regulations. Personally, I'd actually prefer an electrified S58 in the M5. It'd help offset some of the weight gain, be plenty powerful, and I'm partial to BMW's I6s.

I see a lot of E39 which is great. Other angles I see a lot of MB as well so that's a concern.

What would be interesting is if they are able to keep interior dimensions the same (no one needs more room inside a 5-series) but manage to reduce the car overall length and width, and can reduce weight as well.

I just wonder that why bmw limits its power to 750 hp for next-gen m5. Is that enough to beat gt63s e-performance which makes 843 hp..

Here is the video of it being tested on public roads around the Nürburgring.

I hear V8 in that video, so that's great news!

They're so far away from that it's not even funny lol.

Welp. I guess exhaust will be my first mod. Again.

The S68 is sounding plenty loud to me. Skip to 1:35 in the video. I'm guessing that's in Sport+.

BTW I confirmed the XM powertrain transplant a few days ago in my thread.

[M3_Legend]

Sounds good.

S68 with two front motors, 650 advertised, 700 in real life

This car is so flat through the turns that it has to have the Active Roll Stabilization that is in the X5 M.

Doesn't matter....it will sound quiet and pedestrian....just like the rest of the M models now.

Definitely is. 460kW/750Nm which should be awesome.

To each their own. My F90 had GruppeM intakes, DP and exhaust. I want a V8 to sound like a V8.

I think that sound is coming from the car ahead of the prototype.... if you look carefully, you can see a car just going over that hill at the end (in front of the M5 proto).

Curious how the guy taking the video just happens to always be in the right spot on the side of the road…..LOL. Sounds pretty decent to me at the 1:35 mark.
