^love the rims(those are MUST have IMO),hate the PS´d M3 bumpers..

Unless BMW is doing something about the horrible brake dust, those rims will be pain in back to clean.

Aha but that is one of the excellent things about having these types of wheels because once you get them clean again you can have a pride and upmost satisfaction of having done a good job. Plus BMW offer as an accessory a very good thorough cleaning brush set.

My Touring is currently on it's Winter wheels , so I am going to get my 19" standard wheels professionally finished in time for the Spring and give it a through cleaning and detailing especially in it's previous "Weihnachtsbaum" transport.

The wraps are off the new BMW 5 Series, and you know what that means: you guessed it, a new M5. The successor to the high-revving V10 super-sedan has been the subject of much conjecture and speculation, but Britain's Car magazine believes they've got it pegged.

According to the English glossy mag of record, the new M5 will arrive in 2011 after a show debut in late 2010 or early 2011 – and when it does, it figures to be a real bahnstormer. Put any thoughts of the horsepower wars being over to rest, because while the new M5 is expected to drop its V10 in favor of the company's grunty 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, the new super-sled is tipped to be even quicker. About a third-of-a-second quicker to 60 mph, with a top speed limited still to 155 mph but capable of 188 if de-restricted. Yowza.

The M division is said to have cranked some extra juice out of the twin-turbo eight, up from 555-horsepower to 578, coupled to 530 pound-feet of torque. That's more in both columns than the same unit in the X6 M or in the outgoing M5. All this while returning 30-percent better fuel economy. Regenerative braking is also expected to be part of the package, derived from Munich's now-defunct Formula One racing program. But those hoping for a wagon variant will be disappointed, according to Car mag, as BMW is reportedly axing the not-for-U.S. Touring bodystyle.

Power potential with Turbo's, with 578hp stock a chip/tune and exhaust would most likely gave ~650hp which is a quite crazy amount of power. But then warranty becomes an issue.

Upcoming M5/M6 needs to deliver:
578hp stock + 22hp 3:rd party exhaust + 100hp KERS = 700hp

Naa.. it would do just fine with 500 hp and a 250 kg diet

Are you guys aware that you sound like a bunch of MB fanatics where HP/Torque is more important than how the car drive?

Spyshots don't seem to show fender flare and M5 front bumper.

Agreed and done.

This is a FEP F10, but nor wearing the M5 bumpers.

 

[klier]

With quad exhaust? I don't think so! This is the M5, but indeed without most M parts...

That´s what I meant .

 

[klier]

Sorry, lol!

Being pedantic Klier, the 550i has a quad exhaust. But I agree, this is most likely the M5.

 

[Ultimate Car Guy]

It does, but they're not as big as the one's in that pic.

I didn't know what that word meant, never heard it before. But after looking it up it means nothing but negativity towards me again
Good for you!
Quoting me all the time must be fun! I know I'm attractive and all that, but slow it down a bit will you? It's becoming embarrassing! LOL

lol, Klier, I think you got the usage wrong. I am sure he meant he is being pedantic, not you. Classic case something being of lost in translation.

Or he could have been really pedantic and said "I am being pedantic Klier, the 550i..."

Ha ha!! This post is almost the post of the year so far.....behind your one about PS3 buddies.

Yes, I'm afraid you've got the wrong end of the stick Klier. "Being pedantic" means "I am being pedantic". But it's alright. I forgive you.

 

[rollo]

In defense of Klier, assume from his location that dutch is his native language. I very much admire those with multiple language skills.

Just my $.02

 

[PanterroR]

Ok, ok, i'm sure klier got it by now...
