Shady1 LA Auto Show pics of the new M5

SHADY1 · 11-29-2011, 11:53 PM

I drove from Central Texas to SoCal this holiday weekend to drop off my M3 to have my Arkym Carbon Fiber bumper custom painted along with some other mods I don't trust some of the shops in Texas

. During my short time in SoCal, I got hooked up with LA Auto Show tickets from Laidback (Chris the Boss of MFest

). I went to the show Sunday Morning before I had to fly back to Texas that evening. The show was Awesome

and I took plenty of pics of cars at the show. I will post those up tommorrow. I was just excited to be able to see the New M5 make its North American Premiere in person

here are the pics I took

. Oh I just want to let everyone know I am no expert at taking pics

Doesn't seem all that exciting to me other than the power being made.

disapr · 11-30-2011, 08:19 AM

The gauges, calipers and rear bumper kill it for me. I'm sure it will clean up pretty well but for now I'm not really interested.

Thanks for sharing the pics though!

mmm def · 11-30-2011, 08:46 AM

I want to love it but I just can't. I don't get that WOW feeling like I did with the E39 or even the E60.

Poleposition · 11-30-2011, 09:04 AM

What color is that?

Poppin Fresh · 11-30-2011, 09:28 AM

It's really imposing in person. I saw one all masked up but parked and I was amazed....although it does sound like a modded wrx sti.

Powerbeast · 11-30-2011, 10:57 AM

Can't wait to pick up the M5

GOLFFRR · 11-30-2011, 11:02 AM

nice James thanks for posting. looking forward to your new mods to your personal car!

Griz · 11-30-2011, 11:10 AM

Upside down M emblem, nice...

CNice · 11-30-2011, 11:11 AM

not feeling it. Its soo big, and doesn't look aggressive enough.. I know once modded will be sick but still, there should b a car in between the e90 and the 5

Tony135 · 11-30-2011, 11:11 AM

Must. Have. This. Car.

djsueno · 11-30-2011, 11:24 AM

Not feeling the blue calipers whatsoever.......

tha_good_life · 11-30-2011, 11:30 AM

Damn, this car is sexy!

4corners · 11-30-2011, 12:49 PM

I'd love to have that engine in my coupe.
