And where's the facelift?

headlamps and front grill area.
i would drive it with this camouflage, i dont care, it looks BEAST.

I swear 5er and 6er facelifts must be so hard to do, theres nothing to improve (except for LED headlamps in f10), it must be commercially driven

I personally don't like the new M kidney grills, nor the badge.

M6 style grille slats will look awesome!

M6 style grille slats will look awesome!

And a 'major' facelift by BMW standards. Could really give the M5 that more definition

I looks like they have not changed the nose, doesn´t it?

You're right J_M. The Competition wheels look really awesome, too!

The wheels look good, but I don't like 6,7,8,12 spoke rims. I like 5,10,15. Has to do with the five nuts. Well that is my issue. For CL wheels the number of spokes is not a question.

I wonder if they will remain on their old business plan, where they more or less updated the M cars cosmetically to look on par with the series car.
And just dont touch the engines or mechanics?

If so the M5 might see some very tough last years of its life, they need to update it to keep up with the comeptition.
With the AMG S models and RS Audis..
And don't forget the new E class is due before the new 5er, so this facelifted M5 will still be in production when a brand new E AMG is here.

I don't think they can go on with this spec until then, without loosing customers.

And if new E Class looks anything like the new S Class...

^Game over then

PS
I wonder how many M5 vs E63 vs RS6 are sold each year..

Anyone got the numbers?

 

[aleks_16]

Yes we will see more at the M Festival.

WHen is the M-Festival?

@LaArtist If the E looks like the S and the C too Then you have the same design in different sizes. Isn´t this what you hate on Audis and (in your opinion) BMW´s ?

 

[LaArtist]

^yes but it wont happen..not even the C class will look to similar to the S..
Mercedes don't play that game.

Remember my words.

See you when the C class out

 

[aleks_16]

Time will tell. But the "Charackter Lines" are know very very similar at the most Benzes yet with the GLA they have a new member with the similar lines....

 

[LaArtist]

^ Lets just wait..

A line here or there is no problem for me, im all for some kind of Family traits..
But what BMW and Audi are doing..? hah no no.. we wont have that in stuttgart
