Love it! Looks like a grown up and more sophisticated F80.

They are NOT free at all. They're quite expensive in fact as they are modified for OE specific fitment.

These prototype pictures were taken a number of months ago and showed 265/40/19 which is the same as the current m5 19" option, any word on what the M5 will have, the same tyres all round or possibly something a bit wider?

The LA cars are not the only ones in the US. There are east coast cars as well including the EPA certification vehicles. |

why do the testers freakout when they're spotted? are their jobs on the line if someone was to get footage? were they running errands while on the clock? will there pay be reduced for exposure?

- The spotters often drive erratically and are alone. - Real world testing cannot be avoided and secure stops are not always available. Evaluation drivers and engineers have to piss, eat, and sleep just like everyone. Too frequently amateur spotters just won't stop pursuing unfortunately and it creates a significant inconvenience and additional work. |
