2012 BMW M5 Desire Obtain Eight-Speed, Twin-Clutch Gearbox

We’ve already confirmed that the redesigned F10 BMW M5 will have a turbocharged V8. Today we learned that it will have a new, twin-clutch gearbox (in lieu of today’s single-clutch automated manual transmission) with eight forward gears.

The new M5 sedan goes on sale in mid-2011, so we’re guessing it’ll be the 2012 BMW M5. Above is our spy video of the super sedan at the Nurburgring.

Sadly this car looks so uninspiring. They better do something special with the M5 to pull this design out of the fire, because in this current body shape – it’s going to drive a lot of potential M5 customers in the arms of Audi, Benz and others whose designs are far more exciting.
