To me the 5.0v10 that's used in the M5/6 would be better suited in a car of true performance capabilities. I'm not saying there much wrong with either of them but they are trying to be a luxury saloon in the case of the M5 and a Grand Tourer in the case of the M6, their engine would be best used in a true supercar.
I feel that BMW wanted to design the best N/A engine they could, without think of what kind of car it suited best. If the next M5 does get a larger capacity twin turbo unit then I reckon it will be a much better car for it. The need of a luxury saloon to rev to 8000+rpm is plain silly and having to work the engine that hard to unlock it's true potential is beyond me in this class of a car.
