BMW is sometimes harsh for the sake of harsh which is dumb. Porsche is a great example of a more compliant suspension that perfomrs better than a harsh bmw setup. |

The new M5 with the m performance parts looks ridiculously good!

Love it. What a car! The G80/82 shoppers going to have to get their checkbooks out and step up to the 5er if they want a good looking car. Lol. Still hoping the M cars get a different grill tho.

I’ve been following the launch closely as I’m up in the air on what could be my F80s replacement in a year or so. Sure the power is cool, but I think this is the first LCI car by BMW that looks...worse.
It seems that BMW is moving away from the design language that made them, them. Curious to know what those on this board think. Side note: anyone think BMW went to VAG for the headlights? |

Don't worry folks...Those terrible Audi esque non halo round angel eyes and even more terrible polygon gauges and backwards tach mean one thing: ... the 2022 conceptM5 heritage jahre anniversary addition with a 10k price hike featuring "iconic" round gauges and lights !

Pre-LCI front end is definitely more aggressive and better

I like the LCI but they are very similar.

BMW's angel eyes are iconic and the pre-LCI still held onto them to some degree. These new headlights could be from any brand.

Grill is too small, given BMW's trend direction.
Lights are VW as mentioned. Lower fascia is AMG, as is the gill/side vent. |

FMVSS108 is a US transportation set of rules that apparently the M8 was somehow able to comply with, but not the new M5?
its the US govt, so who knows! |

Would be nice to see an option for a flat bottomed steering wheel in BMW's line up that can be easily optioned. Feel like most people would gladly spend the extra $ if it were part of a package or something.
Lot of people optioning the exec package on G20's just to get the DRL lights

On the G30/F90 LCI, it's an independent multi-function dynamic lighting module in addition to the two LED projectors, making a total of 3 forward light emitting devices per side and thus, non-compliant. Other non-conformities exist, but that's the simplest one. |
