While it's way too early to do any speculating about the Drive Train or Power Train, this does confirm one thing. That the 2016 F10 M5 is the last model year M5 for the F10 generation and that the next generation M5 will be out uncharacteristically early based on past generation production years.

Although I highly doubt that I will be moving from the F10 M5 to the new "G90" M5, there are however, some things we can pretty much guarantee what the next generation M5 will incorporate:

- Some sort of AWD system that is either optional or selectable on the fly in the car.
- Better efficiency that the F10 M5, meaning better mpg. I'm going to guess at least 22mpg for EPA ratings.
- Floating iDrive Screen.
- Turn Signals moved from the fender to the side view mirrors.
- Some of the technology from the G11 7-Series, I'm going to say that the touch screen iDrive, air gesture tech, and climate control touch screens will at least make it into the next M5.
- Lighter than the F10 M5 to some degree.
