The next M5 is rumored to be electric and have 1000hp, so I guess it seems the horsepower wars will never end.
I think we're already there in my personal opinion. I'd much rather have a car with decent power and 3 pedals, than something that is too fast be fun on the street (which is the trend these days). While I appreciated the fact that the M5C I test drove is great at everything, I found it way too easy to get myself in trouble and thought the M2C I drove after was more my type of car.

I just finished doing rod bearings on the Z4M and have really enjoyed the amount of power it has (still not revving it out) and its sole purpose of just being fun.
