M5 Did I just spot the new M5? No!

[klier]

Wimmer could have asked someone here instead of putting that thread there, in the wrong section even..

Either way, the thread title makes the forum look bad imo, since it's clearly no M5, and it's completely obvious.

 

[Tarek]

Klier u need to relax.

We all should be thanking Chris for spotting something and posting it here first before anyone else.

Yeah. Because everybody's great and everybody's a winner, right?

I really don't know what's wrong for spotting something interestingly and posting it here and debate about it..

Nothing. But what's been posted that's "interesting"?

 

[Tarek]

A debatable looking 5er.That might a testing car for the upcoming M5.

What's debatable about it? It's just an ordinary 5 Series M Sport with an aftermarket exhaust! Not having a go at Wimmer but I don't see why we should just hand out over the top and gratuitous "thanks" when somebody posts anything. If it had have been an M5 then great. I would say "thanks". As it's not then just move along.

As for the 6 Series cabrio. There are hundreds of spy shots of it in the appropriate forum. I don't think we need any more.

And that's all I'm saying on the matter......

 

[Giannis]

Please guys, keep it civilized.

Yes it is just a 5er with stupid kit but it also could be a M5 under testing.

And i'm not saying that we all must thank him or anything but at least we shouldn't diss him for it also.

Er.....that's exactly what you DID say, and the only reason I am having this discussion with you!

Of that we are agreed.

 

[Tarek]

^You know i didn't mean that we must thank him..that is totally up to each one here.

Really, guys? You have a go at Chris for asking if that was an M5 when there are several blogs/sites (including Horatiu) not knowing it better either?

Yes, we know that's no M5 and yes, we could settle this pretty fast. But that's nothing to argue over. It could have been an M5 test car, and that's good enough.

Either way, the thread title makes the forum look bad imo, since it's clearly no M5, and it's completely obvious.

No, it doesn't. As SCOTT mentioned, we could settle this pretty fast while other sites/blogs which should know what they're talking about as well haven't yet.

Could have left Horatiu out of this, but sure...

We always put a question mark in the title if we're not sure and did not say confirmed, when we realized the mistake (which sometimes we do in the heat of the moment), we updated it.

My only issue was Tarek saying we should all thank Chris. As much as I am grateful for Chris posting pics of something interesting, it doesn't mean I should thank him when it's not, because this just devalues the GENUINE thanks.

I'm not chastising Chris at all.

 

[///K]

LOL lots of debating here AHAHAHAHAHA

Nice shots Chris, I especially like the colour on that 5 series.

Fair enough.

SPOTTED TODAY!

Taken with my new Nokia C7 smartphone camera. Two BMW factory cars. New F10 5er with lots of weird gizmos and wires inside all over the interior (no pictures of this stuff sadly) and the next-generation BMW 1-Series - drove past me while I was parallel-parking...
