I'm digging the grille (who knows if that's the production version).
It's missing the radar, I wonder what else they removed. I can't imagine that's going to be the final front bumper since it looks so plain, especially since you can hardly see a rear diffuser. I thought both of those affect aero and would be necessary for final calibration at the ring? |

If they stripped this down to 3800 lbs (dreaming I know) would be at the dealer right now placing an order. Remove central locking, power trunk, a bunch of interior options, sound deadening, lighter glass, add carbon buckets and maybe we see 4K lbs?
Don't think there is much of a market for this, but would be interesting to see them experiment with something this radical. Would be quite a statement piece if they did build something like that. |

I’m not the biggest BMW fan these days, but after having and pretty much hating the M3 and M4 I owned, my M5C is good at what it does and offers. I don’t think stripping it down to create some facade of a racer sedan is worth the price or worth the time. |

between the slow burn of "spy pics" of the LCI M5 and the new M3/4 I'm actually starting to get disinterested in following. Does anybody know when they are actually going to release anything real given the autoshow circuit is all screwed up right now?

M5 CS makes less sense than a luxury package on a Lotus Exige.

If it were $150k+, then people might as well spend a bit more and get a much more special experience (9k rpm redlines and a 6-speed manual) in the 911 GT3. |

This silver M5 CS was spotted on video on the Nurburgring (see first car up).

I don't know why anyone would buy that version you describe. A worse 5 series in every way. |

A current M5 Competition set on Sport+ will sound good when the driver is hammering around the track.

Does it make sense there is no 4 gran coupe M because "it would probably not find relevance in any market"? Would a Diesel M make sense? etc... I would not presume that those guys in Munich start acting rational all of a sudden. Based on their weird shit uptil now, there is no reason to. Last edited by KoenG; 05-15-2020 at 05:42 PM.. |
