BMW M5 F10 (spy pics & info)

Do you guys think new M5 getting same full-LED lights like the new 6-series?


PS I think bmwblog are seeing the new M5 as we speak. I know Gustav from m5board got and invitation to see the new M5 live before Shanghai Autoshow.

Full LED headlights is going to be an option on the 5 Series, so I would be very surprised if the concept M5 doesn't have full LED headlights. I also think the concept M5 is going to be more like the 6 Series Concept at Paris last October, in that it will have a fully visible interior as opposed to the E60 M5 Concept which had opaque windows.

P.S. It's 1st April already where I am now, which is Auckland, and I can't see the M5, which is not fair at all.

All Converge in Garching for Tomorrows unveiling. Should have some news later tonight or early morning. And if they are lucky will get behind the wheel of the BMW 1M Coupe.

Tomorrow there is a lot of M related stuff aswell as the Concept M5 , The April fool Joke and some M's that came close to production but never made it. Although you wont see it. But Segler will talk (in Passing) of his Material Technology one-off concept car.

"We would like to invite you to a very exclusive event next Friday, April, 1st 2011 (no, it’s not a joke).

Dr. Kay Segler, CEO of BMW M GmbH, will present the BMW Concept M5 to about five European guests at BMW M at Garching near Munich.

We will take a video of this event, which will be shown at BMW TV."


Why didnt I get an invitation?

If that is you in your avatar I can understand why...

It's an outrage!! We should be getting them

how many hours left?

Anyone know if this is like the previous M5 concept..more or less a production look in some fancy wheels and colour?

Im getting excited..wuuuhhh

You can't be sure but thats what everyone else says. BMW concept cars usually become reality so I dont see why it would be different this time.

Cool do we have a time for tomorrow?

Probably 12:00.

So a little more than an hour, if BMW sticks with their usual unveiling time...

^Aight worth staying up for then..

If you compare M today to say M circa 2000 to which we had the M5 , we were about to launch the M3 and we had the Z-M's.
That look of the M car in how the aerodynamics were determined with the shape of the intakes has progressed, so today's 5er with M-Sport Packet has very much a relationship to the E39 M5 in appearance as does the E92 M-Sport with the E46 M3 Whilst the F10 and E92 Respectively do not, due to their identity by using a form of more streamlined aerodynamics.

I remember the reaction to these , The first renders of the M3 Coupe and how people were horrified that that clean look exemplified by the E46 was being discarded in favour of the new aerodynamic package.
Then there was the rear end which took a " last minute" redesign before initial design freeze

But with the progressive stage of M they still keep that "understated" visual appearance in which customers like the idea of a usable performance car as long as it didn't go to extreme's with the aerodynamics and applications.

With the next generation of M car we have to find a balance and progress the current look without taking it to total extremes of aerodynamic packet design.

Now it is time to find the balance for the next progression , and the first symbol of that progression is actually the BMW 1er M Coupe as the M5 was well underway before the 1er M Coupe was suggested.
Areodynamics with the purpose of aiding efficiency is very much evident on the 1M and it is something that will be implemented into further models.
