China meets Bavaria

2012 BMW M5 F10 (Rendering)

It seems we'll see more of the letter M in the mere future. Recent reports have come in that BMW will be showing the concept model of their redesigned four-door five-seater spectacular, the M5, at the Shanghai Motor Show in April. Speculations have been received that the car will ditch the 5.0-liter 500 horsepower V10 from the previous generation, and will inherit BMW's all new 4.4-liter Twin-Turbocharged 600 horsepower V8 engine that was developed from the X5 M. They say that this car will improve fuel consumption and is actually faster. With the release of the concept model this spring, and since BMW have the tradition of making the production models and the concept models of their cars almost alike, this debut will give you the perfect idea of the what the car will look like when it debuts this fall at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This may seem like a long time, but not to worry. Because, if you are a 6-series fan, the Shanghai Motor Show will be unveiling the production model of the all new 6-series coupe, which will be on sale this summer. This is BMW's way of leaving something interesting to make room for something even more interesting.
