I would think that would cause too much cannibalization within BMW's line. Because this person would also be cross shopping it against a 550i, an M5, and the standard hybrid.
And then there is the problem of how they would price it. Would they price it higher than the M5? I don't really see them doing that, but at the same time I don't see them selling a more powerful car thats cheaper than a M5.
Personally, I think a more likely outcome (if they even make a power e-drive 5er) is that either it will fit in between a 550i and the M5. Or this will be a replacement for the 550i's V8 (like how Volvo replaced the V8 in the new XC90).
Can we confirm that there will even be a 550i (or what ever they call the non-M5 V8) in the next 5-Series?
