The M5 would need to add a bit more weight for a small motor and battery pack and the S63 already makes a ridiculous amount of torque at low RPM. The car is launched already at peak torque though with AWD, it probably could handle a bit more. But I doubt that you could improve the 0-60 time much more with a mild hybrid type system.

BMW can mount an eMotor right where the starter is just like McLaren does w/the P1, it's very simple and very effective.
Clearly BMW M has mastered their M-xDrive to get the power to the ground with little to zero fuss.
I am excited to see BMW-i and BMW-M bring together their knowledge.
