That said, and case in point, why else would an M550 be faster to 60mph than an F10 M5,...and every single BMW that was produced alone side or prior to the F10 M5? And get this, the M550 has no carbon fiber seat backs, no carbon fiber roof, or even F10 M5 suspension tuning,...heck, it doesn't even has F90 M5 suspension tuning.
So, by adding the CF roof to a non-M car, BMW is simply spicing up the lineup as much as the they see fit and clearing out the parts bin. So, trust me, they are not too worried about hurting the feelings of owners that bought last generation's M car of any model.
Lastly,...just think, the upcoming Hybrid M5 will have blistering performance not seen from a stock BMW of any generation, yet its successor, the full electric version of the M5,..and possibly the BEV M3 will leave the G90 Hybrid M5 sitting at the traffic light. That's my prediction,...and I'm time will prove this post correct.
I'm willing to bet the first all-electric BMW M5 will crack the 1000Hp mark,...and the CS version may even be around the 1100-1200Hp mark. Heck, the BEV M3 will most likely have some 700-800hp.
That said, is there anyone here that thinks BMW is going to allow Tesla to have all that sub 3-sec glory to itself? Nope,...I hardly doubt it. BMW is simply making advance pre-sales towards getting to that 1000Hp+ full electric BMW ///M car.

BMW just announced that they are not phasing out gas engines and that they will move toward substantial investment in hydrogen.
Electric cars are a joke, and nothing but a bridge to no car ownership whatsoever.
