Pre-production M5 (F10M) To Make An Appearance In May

BY Joel Tam

Sources say that a concept version of the new mother of all sports saloons, the BMW M5, will reach our shores in May. We're anticipating a sneak peek at Munich Automobiles, stay tuned.

Dubbed internally as the F10M, the new M5 will lose the manic V10 unit and gain a twin turbocharged V8 instead. Expect a power output of around 600bhp, coupled with some heady torque figures from the new force-induced heart.

Looking a tad more subtle than its predecessor, but with some serious wheels, it will make its official debut appearance at the Shanghai Motor Show next month.
