WOW!

What's that in your avatar, Scottie? Is that what i think it is?

E82 1-series coupe with some more aggressive looks

 

[PanterroR]

Not an M1?

 

[BimmerToday]

Not an M1?

Basically yes, but who knows how they will call it ;-)

 

[PanterroR]

Scott, speak or you'll be sent for a 10 days cooling by me...

 

[SCOTT27]

umm. I see a MINI
What do you see?

Maybe you want one so much that is all you see even if it is not there?

The event will take place in January and February, journalists from different countries are there for two days usually, so the whole event takes four weeks.

Thanks for the pics, but that watermark in the middle of every pic is ruining things a bit. Can't you put the logo on the side next?

As for Scott's avatar, that was an M1 in Ice White Matt paint

sorry guys, tried to make the watermark less visible, but hard to steal lots of people tend to steal our photos lately, no credit and they put their own watermark on it

We'll find a different solution next time

 

[klier]

I understand, and until you have a solution, this might actually be the best thing to do if the pics get stolen so much...

 

[PanterroR]

Too much of M3 in those CGIs... I'm sure it's going to look different...

 

[bmer]

The car mags' CGI artists seem to have no imagination at all. All the illustrations we see have current M3/M5/M6 bumpers. Reminds of the time when car mags seemed to base their all BMW chops on the Concept CS.

 

[NarutoRamen]

I thought Scott said that M5 won't have M3 inspired design? Or maybe I'm just hallucinating.

 

[Giannis]

I hope it won't look as bold and shouty as the E60 M5 was. I hope for a more E39 like M model this time...

Agree 100%!

 

[klier]

But I somhow think it will be the most radical looking M5 ever, with CF roof and all. The agressive looks will be put on it to make people forget the engine is smaller, turbo'd, etc.

 

[Zafiro]

All M's need to have attitude and M5 E60 has it.

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

Even though I love the E60 M5, a little discretion would be nice. It ought to have a CF roof. Also they NEED to bring back the gunmetal allow wheels, a la E39 M5...I can't emphasize that enough. Those wheels looked downright sinister and put the E60's silver multispoke and the 6er twin 5-spoke to shame. The aero kit ought to be functional but not outlandish for the sake of being outlandish.

Alright, F10 M5 designers, that's the criteria. Go forth and design what ought to be one the most intense yet balanced sports sedan that man has yet to encounter.

IMO...In this class I really think BMW could have used the "Leatherette" type of material that is stiched around the (top half) dashboard like the F01 7er - AS STANDARD.

 

[ree]

Well, you just have to sit in a W212 or Audi A6 to know, that this car is right placed in its class. Well leather at the dashboard will be an option, I think…especially with Individual program. To make this standard, the whole car would have become to expensive as base price and so it's just the standard dash…

 

[PanterroR]

Exactly, ree.

Human, you cannot expect that in this class, no way.
