Although nothing has been confirmed yet, it appears that the BMW 5-Series M Diesel, or whatever name BMW decides to give it, will carry a tuned version of the BMW 3.0-liter diesel engine. We’re saying tuned because the engine will carry a number of significant modifications, including a new cylinder head, direct injection, and BMW’s Valvetronic system. Final numbers pertaining to the output will be a little lower than the 560 horsepower in the gas-powered M5 - probably in the range of 500 to 550 ponies - while the torque numbers will be higher, probably around 650 lb/ft of torque.
It's supposed to have 3 turbos, one small turbo for low end torque, and then two larger turbos for up top. I've also read it's going to be AWD.
AWD + 650tq = :drool2:
I bet it'll still get 25+mpg too :D
