0-100 in 4.0 secs for the M550i!!

That's just 0,2 slower than a Panny Turbo with 100 PS less for the bimmer!!

I was just about to post that!

My car does that in 4.4 secs and it's brutally fast, this is even better, so i can only imagine performances of M5 with xDrive...

Any word on rear wheel steering?

The side profile is soooooo much better looking than the F10 one.

I was waiting for the press proper photos to comment but man that profile is just pure pownage.

But you are right... Damn!

Darker colors needed ASAP!!!

And for me please a pic without M-package.

I'm looking forward to see the official driving videos.

I can find one bland aspect about the exterior - lets see what the standard trims hold

Welcome the new boss same as the old boss. Good luck to the E43 if it's going to go against the M550i it's going to need it. I hope BMW will also offer it in RWD not just AWD. All cars wearing the propeller badge should have RWD as standard.

Thats the best thing about cars like the 340i - they come in both

Same car - 2 different animals

I think this car will have much bigger critical success than the 7er as the compromise they are trying to reach will be naturally more accedpted in this class.

And the hockey stick is F*cking amazing - a piece of art.

The cars lines are sculpted to perfection

The bottom line of the stick even follows the side skirt wheel arch cut out

This is how a BMW sedan should be. Just look how well proportioned it is. Dynamic, sporty . I love it! (Def need big rims 19")

Is it anywhere near to your expectations about the preview talk?

 

[SCOTT27]

Where are the promised oled tail lights?

Wait for the M5 with optional OLED and Laser Light(depending on what market?)

Spoke with Adrian Van Hooydonk yesterday about the 5 Series and he did say they spent quite some time on the hockey stick and also to revise the Hoffmeister Kink, to kinda fit the profile better. We'll have an interview with him in the near future, so he'll likely share more.

I hate to be a "Debbie Downer" here, but the F10 was by no means a boss in its class in the dynamics department. That being said, this will certainly be an entertaining match up!

I certanly has exceeded my expectaions. I always loved the F10 but this certanly offers a better alternative in some key areas.
