It's amazing what you can find out in the snowy woods of Sweden: our spy photographers have just bumped into the new F10-series BMW M5, the new high-performance super saloon coming in 2011.
The maximum 5-series is on winter test in Sweden, as engineers hone the new bi-turbo V8 that will replace the 5.0-litre V10 of today's E60 M5.
A V8? Turbos? What the devil are BMW playing at?
Calm down, it's all to do with emissions. The old V10 sang like a canary when you revved it, but it also gobbled the world's resources with too much abandon. So BMW's fitting the (marginally) less thirsty, downsized 4.4-litre V8 we've already seen in the X5 M and X6 M.
