no, direct injection
the new audi s4 motor?

BMW 4.4L

It’s a v8

That would make for a cool coffee table

Just saw this in person at BMW world on Friday… Really cool model!
X5M and X6M motor…

Newman’s link is from Jan 2008. I guess this thing has been around a while.
Was it released that they will be using some version of this engine in the new M5?
VERY VERY widely belived yes…
im hoping it happens soon so the resale on teh e60m5’s drops
