That's an interesting one...
The spec box at the end of the article says 610bhp however the text in the main article says...
"On track, the new M5 feels as brutally rapid as you might expect. BMW hints at a final output figure of around 610bhp, with in excess of 516lb ft of torque, but if that's the case then these are particularly well-fed Bavarian horses of notable parentage."
Sounds like BMW are going to be conservative with the quoted figures vs. reality - so it will be interesting to see what "official" figures BMW decide to publish in their own press release when it comes.
Evo also mentioned a Sept launch.
