F10 M5 Ceramic Brake Option In the Works
Not many details have yet been confirmed on the upcoming F10 M5, but in a recent interview with the head of M division, Dr. Kay Segler has confirmed that ceramic brakes for the F10 M5 is coming. When posed with the question whether future M cars will be available with a ceramic brakes option, he responded that it's being worked on, for the M5.
This would represent the first time that ceramic brakes are offered as an option on a production BMW. Ceramic brakes provide great braking power, well wear over time, produce less brake dust, and are very lightweight.
Ceramic brakes are options currently standard on the best performance cars (Carrera GT, 911 GT2, Nissan GT-R, Corvette ZR1, etc.), so it's safe to assume that BMW has nothing but the highest performance aspirations for the F10 M5.
Expect a first appearance of the M5 in concept form in April and in production form at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

Oorspronkelijk geplaatst door Yannick007 Bekijk BerichtenHopelijk gaan ze bij BMW weer wat de extremere toer op, de E60 vond ik veel te braaf vanbuiten. Deze ziet er allesinds uit
De E60 is net de 'extreemste' M5 ooit, veel minder q-car dan de E39 en E34.

Motortrend: Why the F10 M5 May Be Automatic-Only
Motortrend provides some reasoning behind why they believe the upcoming F10 M5 may be M-division's first automatic-only model, featuring a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission only and no manual or dual clutch transmission option. (Thus far, the F10 M5 has only been spotted with automatic transmission)
Their reasoning for the lack of a DCT option is due to the monstrous torque that the F10 M5's twin turbo DI 4.4L V8 motor (S63) from the X5M/X6M is expected to generate. The F10 M5 is expected to feature more power than even the X5M/X6M which currently puts down 500 lb-ft torque, and could come in above 550 lb-ft. Apparently, BMW attempted to adapt the Getrag M DCT for the F10 M5 but was unable to do so without beefing it up with larger actuators, which would result in an unacceptable slow-down in the transmissions' response/shift time.
Motortrend does not provide their reasoning as to why a manual transmission option will not be offered, but the general thought that has been posted on our forums previously is that there are not or will not be enough interest from F10 M5 buyers for a manual option.
Of course, none of this has been officially confirmed and until then, it remains speculation. But, it won't be long until we know for certain which transmissions the M5 will or will not get, as the production F10 M5's internet reveal is expected this Summer / early Autumn, with the production M5's world premiere at the Frankfurt autoshow in September. We may even find out earlier than that when the concept M5 is shown at the Shanghai Autoshow in April.
