[QUOTE="Juan Powerblow, post: 202720, member: 20"] Well, I think engine development is advancing more rapidly than b4 and if BMW adopts a V6, it has to be better than the current engines, so I guess that's something to look forward to. I guess this is largely motivated by the likes of Audi, Alfa, Lexus, Merc, Honda etc raising the power stakes in bids to take on a more "sporty" mantle even for mainstream models. I read an article once about how Lexus came out with the IS500 in a rush though they didn't expect it to sell cos they didn't want their IS range to be without a car that could chalen the C63, RS4, M3 etc. It didn't particularly matter too much that for some of us like you and me, it's not just about a straight line. Fabs, I've been checking out the S5 on the web and other resources. Initially, I was quite impressed too but I suspect it looks better on screen than real cos besides its imposing scale, it's short on detail. Just my 2 cents! [/QUOTE]
