Although I highly doubt that I will be moving from the F10 M5 to the new "G90" M5, there are however, some things we can pretty much guarantee what the next generation M5 will incorporate:
- Some sort of AWD system that is either optional or selectable on the fly in the car.
- Better efficiency that the F10 M5, meaning better mpg. I'm going to guess at least 22mpg for EPA ratings.
- Floating iDrive Screen.
- Turn Signals moved from the fender to the side view mirrors.
- Some of the technology from the G11 7-Series, I'm going to say that the touch screen iDrive, air gesture tech, and climate control touch screens will at least make it into the next M5.
- Lighter than the F10 M5 to some degree.

Funny Dave, I was just thinking the same thing, since we are just approaching the end of year three with our beasts.
Couple more months in my F10 M5 and that's it for a M5 for awhile.
