Car looks pretty darn good. Could use some flare on the rear fender though.

Yeah. Maybe even a tad bit more of offset but really hard to discern that from the pictures.

Haven't seen one yet so really pissing in then wind with that.

Still thinking this is my next machine.

definitely agree, I'd like to see the competition wheels (666m) on this bad boy.

Kr0m3assass1n · 09-20-2017, 07:34 PM

Well well...I didn't see this beauty on hump day for nothin' !!!

1 Grill blackout.
2 CF Mirrors
3 Rear fenders need more flare (cmon this is beast mode after all).
4 Different wheels. Maybe ZCP wheels from M3?
5 Lower offset on rears.
6 Matching CF rear lip.

This will be mine some day!

Zeroblade · 09-20-2017, 07:41 PM

Finally more colors than that questionable Frozen color. That gray looks really sharp but the rear lower bumper sadly needs to go back to drawing board. Not feeling it at all.

MiamiFan13 · 09-20-2017, 07:44 PM

amazing! it's my favorite X5M color...and it looks incredible on the M5. on that side shot, at quick glance, I thought it was a Kia Optima. yikes.

ASAP · 09-20-2017, 08:09 PM

anyone else think this looks like an M sport 5 series w a quad exhaust?

Yes- quad exhaust is abnormally far apart for an M car. Looks like an eBay exhaust tip mod.

Front end is stellar and all F85... though I am a bit biased

F06msportmia · 09-20-2017, 08:15 PM

this is the right color for the M5! What a beauty, if I could afford it I would have it with out a doubt.

antzcrashing · 09-20-2017, 09:15 PM

Looks nice in that silver

Kankles · 09-20-2017, 09:37 PM

I still like the fact that they kept normal round quad exhaust versus going with the "integrated fake exhaust" ala 540i and every Merc

georgere · 09-20-2017, 09:40 PM

Nice looking shape but few details. In most places this car is a blank canvas...

KevinM · 09-20-2017, 09:48 PM

Nice color. But I like grays.

DaveCM5 · 09-20-2017, 10:01 PM

I think one of the reasons this color looks so good is that it tricks your eyes into thinking the grills and headlights aren't the ginormous monstrosities that they are.

I'll probably end up getting one though.

doug_999 · 09-20-2017, 10:02 PM

Bleh!

The grill is hideous - heck, black it out and I think it might be even worse. Looks like a Siamese cat with those headlights. The wheels are even worse and from the side, the car is no different than a regular 5-series.

Yea, I normally say "but you need to see it in person", but this thing is gross - at least in these pictures.

The new M5 wheels don't even look like a BMW design.

Grayblack · 09-20-2017, 10:26 PM

The color is great, but the new design is so boring imo.

Jez_zza · 09-20-2017, 10:29 PM

Classy color but not sporty enough to my liking ... I'd go with the marina bay blue

raysspl · 09-20-2017, 10:33 PM

Yup. Pretty.

You're irrelevant though, ive seen posts of you praising and fan girling over the M5 before it got released and now you're bashing it because you cant afford it and saying you'll get an E63S. Leave and go to the MBworld forums
