I dig that red on it. I like the M5 best in louder colors.

That's sakhir Orange, not red

Here is a full set of photo's of the brand new F10 M5 color-Sakhir Orange with M Carbon Ceramic Brakes. I'm not a big sedan kind of guy....but I could get use to this car. Seeing the front brake rotor's and calipers on the M Carbon Ceramic Brakes in person....I'm blown away. Massive brakes.I just wish they could fix the rear brakes...single piston sliding caliper just does not cut it against the comp in this segment. I know 70% of braking force is generated from the front....but on aesthetics alone...the rear brakes need a fix. I wonder if the delay of the M Carbon Ceramic Brakes is for a redesign for the rear caliper?? Some shots appear to be the same....the sun disappeared for a minute and I tried to get some shots in the shade . Thanks. PalBay

That's the M5 I'd get if I could. Manual all the way.
Are those the only wheels for the M5? Haven't seen any with any other option.

Hottest F10 without question. Tropical colours are rarely meant for sedans but the car rocks the orange as good as a Lamborghini.

Thanks for sharing HQ photos Palboy.

Nineteen inch multi-spokes are standard, but it seems that either the 20" wheels are more popular or that the initial builds are getting 20-inchers so BMW can capitalize on making more $$$$. Personally, I prefer the multi-spokes, as it reminds me of the E39 M5, and on daily driving, I'd imagine it would be more comfortable without giving too much on the performance front. However, I can't personally back up that claim nor have I seen any articles comparing the two wheels.

I don't know why is BMW yet putting the 10 year old ZHP shift knob for their manual M cars. I hope the M3 F80 will get a new shift knob.

 

[Giannis]

Because it's a very well designed item. No need to create a new one. This one is simplicity at its best!

 

[Centurion]

I don't mind the analogue gear knob. It gives the car a charm like a good old school hammer with a rubber handle - the epitome of manual work just like that gear shifter.

Old school hammer has a wooden handle.

I know the shifter is good, but design wise it just doesn't fit the new BMW interiors. In this case why not put a true motorsport gear knob like this one ?

^Yea trying touching that on a hot summer day after parking your car in the sun for a few hours. Or for that matter I doubt it feels good in the winter either.

^Too much CGI but nice commercial ")

Eh, I don't really get it. Slow down the frame annoyingly 3 times to see the car crash through something? WTF is an apple doing there?

The E39 one is still the king, by far.

Eh, it's just an advert. The metaphorical likening of an M5 to a speeding bullet that's being filmed in the super slow-mo that's so overused these days. The "bullet" being lauched out of a barrel and through three typical targets. Nothing more to get really.
