If you were disappointed by <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/28/report-bmw-m5-dropping-v10-for-turbo-v8/">reports</a> that BMW was planning to retire the award-winning, high-revving V10 engine from the current M5 in favor of a twin-turbo V8, well...we can't really blame you. It's one heck of an engine, and we'll all miss it dearly. But all is not lost. The Bavarian automaker is hard at work on the next 5 Series, and with it the next-gen M5. And now spy video footage of the uber-sedan lapping the Nurburgring has surfaced.<br />
<br />
With all the swirly camouflage, it's hard to tell much about the car's styling. You can expect it to follow the lead set by the new 5 Series Gran Turismo, though. But the engine - well, just <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/12/spy-video-2011-bmw-m5-prototype-whines-its-way-round-the-nords/#continued">follow the jump</a>, watch the video and tell us if you're not hearing that telltale turbo whine. <em>Thanks for the tip, Paul!<br />
