There isn't many cars that is.

Why didn't BMW put a supercharger on the V10.

Why didn't BMW put a supercharger on the V10.

Because the fuel consumption would be astronomical and the CO2 emissions absolutely atrocious.

and v8 that was supposed to be turbo charged from the beggining of its creation is almost always going to be better than blowed v10 which was always supposed to be NA

Update the V10. I'm shure with wouldn't be far from the V8 emissions, although you're right about fuel consumption. But a 560 hp V10 screaming like hell would be epic.

The E60's phenomenal V10 is a gem & surely among the very best engines ever built. Its the motor that NA lovers like me will always miss!

Just imagine how serious damage that massive V10 with a couple of spooling turbos or super-chargers can do!!

Wait... I recall something. Anyone remember the world's fastest sedan - G-Power Hurricane-RS??

Those days are gone, unless you buy a ferrari.

Great to see there is still so much fondness for the now retired V10 engine. I'd love to see it in a BMW again, coupled with the DCT (as it had been done already).

Nothing surprising at all, to be expected of course. Though, the V10 might have more emotional appeal to some due to its exotic and individual nature.
