This is bad...
No wonder their chief designer got fired. it's a FAIL for me.
I'm sorry but other than the seats this thing is really bad. The exterior is really bad, barely any difference from f10. but the rear takes the cake. those lights are from the 90's and what about those exhaust tips. cmon already, this is the fking M5, give us something nice dammit. Yes it will be fast as BMW engineering is rocking it but design is at "honda level". It just got release and already looking forward to the LCI, hopefully the LCI will give it that little spice it needs to make it acceptable somewhat. sorry just my opinion. |

No surprises hereas we've done some pretty spot-on renders based on the leaked CAD drawings ;-). http://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1323081
Now what about a Touring version? http://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1351035

It needs to be revolutionary, the competition isn't backing down. This new M5 seems to have taken a very, very small step forward. It won't cut it for me this time again. The only way I'll be in this car is if the lease is under 1300 otherwise it's off to AMG. which i know is going to be a royal pain in the ass to lease because MBFS sucks |

Agree with those saying that the styling is what was expected for a car of this type...the M5 has always been more subdued than the M3, IMO.
Personally like it, for what it is. Will definitely be considering when my current daily lease is up.

I don't get the immediate bowing to this by many with comments like 'sex" or "nailed it." If by "sex," you mean the same missionary only position with the same person for 60 years straight, then sure, bmw "nailed it."
If the pics are accurate, this has to be the most boring M ever devised. There is zero notable distinctions from a regular 5 series. With a complete failure for a transmission choice, I'm not getting the love. This is more boring than the new Audi releases. |

I think maybe the color and angles just dont show the flares well, but it looks like some decent fender flares when viewing the car from the rear three quarter view. I looks like the front fenders are nicely flared and the rears are muscular in general.
I dont want something overly obnoxious though. If i wanted something looking boy racerish i wouldnt be looking at an executive sedan in the first place. |

Conservative compared to? Front Fender Arch Flare Increase (each side): F82 + 18mm F80 + 28mm F90 + 30mm The only 4 door ///M to ever have rear arch extensions is the F80. It makes the assembly very time consuming as the production line has to stop for tooling swap and rework so F80's are built in batches to minimize the impact as much as possible. |

The red accents really make it boy racer/rice/Honda Civic Type R ish. Not a fan, honestly.
