F90 M5 prototype spied entering U.S. at LAX
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Fresh off the plane from Germany. I assume it's going to do some road tests and what not here. Looks beefy. Also see main F90 M5 details / spy pics / videos thread @ http://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1144727 |

Will BMW still make parts F10 M5 even after this new generation model gets released? (like the BMW-Akrapovic MPE or the F10 M5 Comp Pack suspension)
I ask that because usually, most product life cycles mean that once a new model is out, most support for old products are left to die (e.g. like what Microsoft does to legacy operating systems) I think most automakers do that as well (?)...............except maybe for Porsche (which has extensive support for Classic models) |

All car makers are legally required to support the old models for at least 15 years after production stops.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! What is that round lens looking thing under the front plate? Would have been cool if they could have shot some interior pics. (Although it probably would have been mostly covered anyway)

No clue. Could be a test apparatus or camera hole.

I don't know what a cross bank design is, but with all of that muffling capability between the exhaust outlets, perhaps BMW has eliminated the resonators? Would making the first restriction in the exhaust as far away from the engine as possible help power production? But the cats would still be in the same place, wouldn't they? Or maybe they've found a way to make their turbo motor sound better?

I am just hoping the interior won't have the floating nav screen as seen in previous pre-production photos.

Gotta agree with this one. Looks way more 'sleek' if anything than 'beefy' to me. Can't wait to see the final thing!
