Last year BMW allowed the press to tinker around with this G30 BEV prototype which is far more powerful/Fast as than F90 M5.

710HP and 884 pounds feet of torque...

And I'm okay with that. As much as I absolutely love the emotion, times have significantly changed. Porsche is cranking out 500hp+ with a naturally aspirated six cylinder engine and it's a monster. Just needs a little big of engineering and some effort and I'm sure BMW can make a six cylinder cranking out more HP and torque than the V8. Look at what AMG has done with their new turbo four cylinder. It's crazy.
