Agreed

MRV99 · 10-20-2017, 03:43 PM

Blue with a slight feminine hue. Perfect PC color

The Automotive Enthusiast · 10-20-2017, 03:45 PM

It's crazy how big of a difference bumpers and lights make.

Nomana · 10-20-2017, 03:45 PM

Side vent looks cheap

Aaaaaaaaa · 10-20-2017, 03:47 PM

SR and LB blue are too green for me personally

M-Pilot · 10-20-2017, 04:48 PM

Not a huge fan of this color but I must say I love the debadged look.

Hedoniste · 10-20-2017, 05:03 PM

Great color! Have seen it on a 4 GC...

Have to be honest here...I've been happy with almost every past iteration of M5, but this one doesn't stand out much after they started offering the M550i

Bahn360Photo · 10-20-2017, 05:53 PM

Nice color!!!

Spiro83 · 10-20-2017, 05:55 PM

I didn't think I would have ever said this but AMG here I come

yousefnjr · 10-20-2017, 06:05 PM

I can’t keep up with all the blues anymore. Looks just like the last bright blue M5

Race_Doc11 · 10-20-2017, 06:27 PM

Beautiful color. The rear bumper reflector is taking ugly to a whole new level.

Dog Face Pony Soldier · 10-20-2017, 06:36 PM

The color sends the wrong message. Too feminine and/or soft looking. The fact that not one "beast" adjective has been used in this thread supports my opinion.

This car is doing a very-poor job of separating me from my money.

Feminine, or old balls blue. Take your pick.

can’t you just see a geriatric driving this thing @ 55 MPH on the local highway ?

Not to mention that it’s the same basic engine as the previous generation.

Besides the AWD —> RWD on the fly, the car isn’t that impressive if you ask me.

Exactly.

Detailers Domain · 10-20-2017, 08:24 PM

nice!

SlammedR8 · 10-20-2017, 08:27 PM

I don't care for the color, its one of those subjective things..you know..beauty is in the eye of the beholder sort of thing... and no one is forcing you to buy the car in this color afterall.

but those wheels...FAKKK!!! They're really really (really) bad, if I was ever silly enough to grab this car, I wouldn't use those wheels for my winter set up even..they're THAT bad!

Eddien123 · 10-20-2017, 08:28 PM

Probably the awd system that makes it ride so high?

bimmer4lif3 · 10-20-2017, 08:57 PM

Not a big fan of the color on such a big car its overkill. The wheels are absolutely ugly not sporty at all. The wheel gap is just plain ridiculous for an M series car but this should be expected considering it is an xdrive variant.

SeanWRT · 10-21-2017, 12:19 AM

The most disappointing M5 appearance wise of all time.

JamezE36 · 10-21-2017, 03:30 AM

Personally I would say the reason this car doesn't look that good is because of the sunroof.

The carbon roof really helps set it apart from your normal G30 and snapper rocks blue would look great with the contrast!
