BMW M5 (F90) shown at Gamescom!

yuKon22 · 08-22-2017, 04:54 AM

The guards could be a little wider in the rear, looks conservative to me, but petty certain it will look chunkier in person, lighter blue, silver wheels, can't wait to see the renders....it's going to be a beast that's for certain....

spuntyb · 08-22-2017, 06:17 AM

I love that frozen red on the First Edition. Definitely need to see it in person though...

Flying Ace · 08-22-2017, 12:06 PM

how many current M5 owners are "gamers"? Just curious.

I am. And I know a few others.

100 + K and still a floating rear calliper. LOL

Does playing NBA 2K against a 9 year old qualify me as a gamer? LOL

Depends. after your Lebron character throws down a facial dunk, do you then gloat, capture the video, posts it on youtube and tear down said 9-year old's already weak self esteem?

then your 9-year old is a gamer. You are not. Incidentally, marketing the G90 M5 in video games to your 9-year old gamer is a moot point, unless you need to convince your wife that you need a G90 and your 9-year old holds sway in the decision.

LMFAO ... wife and 9 year old don't factor in these decisions so certainly a moot point. Anyways, good to lighten up the mood in regards to a car almost no one has driven or seen in person.

True on the son being a gamer.

I am sure that there are plenty of non 9 year old gamers that can beat the pants off of @ Josec70 As well that CAN afford an M5.

I am not a gamer. But I do understand that games like World of Warcraft and Halo etc have a much larger penetration than people are aware of. The next level of " gamers " are actually creating vehicles, machines and drones and controlling them. I am a sports guy , and I can at the least recognize that games people thought were silly like online Poker, daily fantasy, and playing with drones are pushing traditional sports programming off of ESPN.

Some of y'all might want to recognize ...

Absolutely the first design feature I will look for , the next time I purchase a $100k car. Whew! It's a good thing you saved me.

No arguments here ..... the world has changed in many different facets and the gamer realm is certainly no exception. I have no doubt there are many gamers that can afford an M5 and much more.

That color makes me LOL

When I initially watched the first video at the top I really thought it was live and not a game.

BMW CEO introduces the F90 M5 (click on image for video):

Daaaadadundun · 08-24-2017, 10:51 AM

I know I should be excited about the new M5 but it just doesn't do it for me. It's a long time ago I really got excited about a new BMW.

DaveCM5 · 08-24-2017, 11:19 AM

The side profile is nice but every time I see the front I think of a catfish.

The headlight housings and kidney grills are too big and there are too many odd angles going on. The holds true with the rear over the exhausts as well.

Performance-wise it will rock, but looks wise I think the 5-series lost some of it's elegance.

Too__Hu///Mble · 08-24-2017, 11:41 AM

I'm very eager to see how the CF roof vs sunroof options play out. Me personally would prefer a sunroof. I'll give up a tenth or two for some coolness.

A lot of the newer BMW designs have been reminding me of catfish...

E60orBust · 08-24-2017, 01:21 PM

For the F90, are the left and right kidney grills all one piece? It looks like there is a black bar between them connecting both sides. WTF? It looks so weird not having paint-match bridge between them.

Not sure I would call it red. Frozen for sure but it's a big call in the sales dept to put it out there on the launch. Not a fan of frozen, I'm old skool and like my shiney paint, but hey, things move on. Just not sure I like moving on with it. Stick a Le Mans blue on it and I am all in.
