And will the M550d become simply 550d just like a 750d?

No the 5erwill still be known as the M550d.

Anyone tell me if the wheelbase will be increased? Interior dimensions? I have a F10 and would like to see more interior space in the back.

Trying to figure out if it's worth waiting for the new M5.

rekkk · 10-21-2015, 11:24 PM

Not 100% sure but does the M5 launch at the same time as non M5's?

No it's usually a year out from there so we should see the new M5 late 2017 going into 2018.

ddurant32 · 12-20-2015, 02:41 AM

The shape looks exactly the same as the last gen to me. It will be exciting when they reveal it to see exactly what they changed. Until then I will await the renderings!

freezey · 12-26-2015, 11:43 AM

I wonder how accurate the no manual transmission thing is.

Updated March 22, 2016 with new photos

The F90 M5 has been spotted conducting further testing, with less front end camouflage than before. The large air intakes are now visible in the lower front fascia.

Still too much camo to make any kind of determination on its styling.

rjd598 · 03-22-2016, 12:50 PM

lower weight. same engine that is already pushing 600hp from the factory. xdrive. aimed to be the best in its segment. um what's not to like here. just hope it looks good.

I would say very accurate since the f10 m5 was never supposed to have one, and they only made an exception for North America.

AKRAPOVICOWNS · 03-22-2016, 01:02 PM

In that last batch of pics it kinda looks like it has a wider front track than the regular G30? Could be my eyes or the camo playing tricks though.

RPiM5 · 03-22-2016, 01:16 PM

So is the F90 Chassis Code officially official? I'm wondering why it is not getting a G8x or G9x chassis code instead.

Also judging by the picture in the parking space, it already looks like a big car. I'm not a fan of getting into an even bigger car than the F10. I'm more interested to see where BMW and M take the next M6 since they've claimed in the past they want it to be more of a 911 fighter.

TheBingoBalls · 03-22-2016, 02:18 PM

Pretty excited to see what the next-generation 5er is going to be considering what Mercedes has shown with the new E-Class. BMW has a lot of work to do. The F10 still looks good but dated when compared to the new E-Class. If the next-generation 5er decides to take BMW's traditional approach where it's more evolutionary than revolutionary, it's going to be a long life cycle in the most negative way.

hinckley · 03-22-2016, 02:46 PM

Why is the M5 referred to as F90 while all other next-gen 5ers are G30s? Is it possibly a different chassis?

shivaswrath · 03-22-2016, 03:36 PM

No one noticed the 666 wheels!?!

Don't take the wheels as anything but testing units. They're not 666m wheels and won't be a production style.
