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.

Although the F10 M5 will be more powerful and faster vs the current E60 M5, the TTV8's exhaust note is horrible in comparison to that lovely V10 wail. I'm sure many BMW ///M enthusiasts will miss it.
