BMW M5 spy shots – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nIt seems that the 2011 BMW M5<\/a> is nearing production-ready status, and while the new supersedan may still be wearing a bit of swirly camouflage, it’s easy to see what the more aggressive M5 will look like in its new F10 5 Series<\/a> body.<\/p>\n

As we’ve mentioned earlier<\/a>, the 2011 M5 is expected to ditch the outgoing car’s high-revving V10 in favor of a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 borrowed from the X5 M<\/a> and X6 M<\/a>. Currently, that engine kicks out 555 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque, but if the rumormill is to be believed, BMW’s M division has cranked out some extra punch for the M5, to the tune of 578 hp and 530 lb-ft. That means 0-60 mph runs should happen in under 4.5 seconds on the way to a limited top speed of 155 mph. As for transmissions, we’ll bet our last dollar that the M5 will use a dual-clutch setup, and we’re still crossing our fingers that a proper manual transmission will find its way into the cards as well.<\/p>\n

Expect the production-ready M5 to debut later this year (Paris Motor Show<\/a>?) or in the very early months of 2011. In the meantime, click through the attached gallery to see all of the high-res spy shots.<\/p>\n
