yes guys MB will not disapoint uus, they are putting the new engine 5.5 TT directly in the new CLS where as I think that this engine will be fitted in the E-class after doing a facelift to it ( such as what they did in w211 when fitting 63 engine )
the new 5.5Tt wil be 580hp stock.
and about the new M5 i read that it will have an 8 speed gear. the same one as in the new 760 which now they add a turbos to it and the power is more than 600hp.

FI FTW !!!...if the 335i's are getting serious power with just a dp/tune I can imagine that a v8tt will be like 700hp to the wheels EASY with a tune and exhaust. AMG better step up its game asap. The only issue i have is I can only imagine how much heavier the new m5 will be over the previous gen
Overall, I think this is a great move for BMW. If I could drop that motor under my hood today, I wouldn't think twice.

I had read somewhere that the TTv8's were boosted to 22 lbs. It has been a long time since I have had a TT motor, but 22 sounds like a lot of boost. Does anyone know what the 335 boost levels are after tunes?

Chip tuning will certainly make a good deal more power as will some downpipes (up-pipes now that they've basically reversed the layout of the engine?).
It will be interesting to see how AMG reacts, they've publicly stated that their part in the "horsepower wars" is over, but now there's rumor of a 5.5 liter TT motor. If that is released it should put both marques on an even level from a power production standpoint, however Mercedes has some catching up to do in the steering/suspension department.

Boost pressure needs to be looked at as a ratio to the diameter of the impeller wheel on the turbo. If it's a 76mm turbo, 22lbs is a TON of boost (meaning volume of air) . If it's a 40mm turbo, not so much. More than likely, we're looking at two very small snails packed in between the cylinder banks, so 22 pounds of boost isn't too extreme.

Of course the one caveat that you mentioned, is that it's still a C-class. That stigma can be tough to overcome. I would really like an M3 as I don't need the extra doors of the M5 and I'm trying to cut down on costs (I have a 100 mile commute total, daily), but I just can't stand 99% of M3 drivers and don't want to be stuck in with them.
