Do you guys think that there will ever be a 555i BMW? Similar to the 335i such as adding 2 rather small turbos only this time adding them to the 550i's V8 engine? That would be sick! A BMW 555i 5.5L TT with a 6MT and a rear LSD!
Just like the 335i on the toes of the M3, I think if this car was ever put into production it would be on the toes of the M5.
Your thoughts?

Thanks for the info guys!!! Obviously I am not too familiar or up on the latest on BMW

Hmm...I would have thought that the new '11 TT 550i would have produced A LOT more than 407hp. A TT 5.0L V8...hell, the IS-F produces more than that NA! I think BMW severely detuned this car so it wouldn't apporach M5 territory and ruin its sales.
Either way if it can be tuned with ease like the 335i's then all performance sedans are in trouble. ;( That thing WILL be a beast!

The new 550 GT, which I reviewed, has a turbo V8. It is actually done on the 7-series platform, but is marketed and classed as a 5-series. Some people, though, consider it ugly and awkward-looking. But it has a whopping 450 ft-lbs. of torque...and, even with the 8-speed sport-shift automatic, runs like it.
