..and if yes when? I think a 300HP 5 series would be a perfect blend of value and performance....i'm between 530 and 550 now so something in the middle would be perfect.. with the rumours of the 335 coming with over 300hp it makes sense to upgrade the 5 series offering..
According to a guy in the UK there is a 540 avaliable with 306HP. That would be a nice fit between 530 and 550 huh?

What I would really love to happen is the rumored displacement increase in the 3.0 liter engine to 3.5. If they could get to ~ 300hp out of a six cylinder engine, I would think this would be the perfect car. The 3.0 turbo sounds interesting, but I have a feeling it will not make it to the US in the 5-Series. My best guess is the US engine selection in the 5 series will not change for several years since they are all very new engines.

I don't think we'll ever see the 540i in the US, but a faster inline 6 is a very real possibility. The 540i is marketed to those countries whose car tax is based on engine displacement.
