It's not the same engine exactly. E70 X5M uses the O0 revision, F10 M5 uses T0, and F85/F86 will come with T2, so I would expect about 10hp/10lbs bump. This is in line with F15 using the same engines as E70, benefiting instead from lighter weight and improved drivetrain. And it's been the norm for a very long time now for BMW to use the same engine with minor variations in many different models.
No idea what kind of transmission will be there - the source doesn't specify that. |
Throw in 80/20 X drive and 600+ hp and you got a real deal. Putting that much power to the ground is nuts, I'm think 3.5 to 60 and 11 in the quarter
