Seems to look legit. Could be an embargoed pictures leak.

I sat inside one last May during a BMW M Belux event. Description of my impressions (please note that, as requested by BMW, I didn't take pictures inside the 'Discovery Room'): http://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...c#post21740262

Only difference: the one I saw sported black kidney grills (no chrome).

Not well visible in the leaked pictures:
  • size of rear tires: 295/35 (20") (front tires size: 275/35 (20")) (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires)
  • V-max speedometer: 330 km/h
  • start/stop button color: red/bordeaux (same color as the M1 and M2 paddles for personal settings)
  • front interior: featured some shiny grey trim
  • tiny discreet mud flaps (grey/black plastic) are mounted on the top part of the rear wheel wells
  • there are sensors on the lower part of the front intake (bumper) (to be distinguished from the eye between the kidneys)
  • the cup holders section is covered with a sliding curtain
  • the M5 logo inside the top part of the sports seats + inside the entry door sills (à la M3/M4) lights up
  • rather small braces à la M2 inside the engine bay (no strut brace à la M3/M4)
