Very impressive engine. It looks huge though. A single head looks as big as entire engines in some econoboxes. I wonder what it weighs.

I think the high reving character is a good choice. An M5 is supposed to be a novelty. If you don't need that much power, get a regular 5-series. If you want gobs of silent torque at any rpm, get a Benz. I think this will fill an interesting niche.
