What if i just wrapped my F10 with a bit of masking on the front and tooled around the roads..... I wonder if people would think it's a test mule? Lol

It's been done several times

Listen smartass BMW is given a huge amount of free tires during R&D and then they make up for it because BMW chooses that tire, and the official STAR rating goes on it, then that chosen tire company sells a shit-ton of tires moving forward. Next/

Was hoping to see some wider wheel arches a la f80

Please have OLED tailights ...please have OLED taillights !

AlexLou1222 · 10-25-2016, 09:22 PM

Well, at least the carbon roof and M mirrors are there. But this is just like my X6M in sedan version. Exterior wise.

Greer · 10-25-2016, 11:01 PM

Thanks a lot for sharing. I live in LA and if I spot one I will track it down.

The car in the video doesn't appear to. I've only seen one prototype that appears to have them and they're extremely well disguised. They are in the order configuration items so I wouldn't worry beyond them being optional.

This thing better not be AWD...

The LA cars are not the only ones in the US. There are east coast cars as well including the EPA certification vehicles.

That's a shame. 265/305 or 275/305 would be sweet. Even 325/25/21 with either 265/35/20 or 275/35/20 would be a bit of fun. Maybe I can dream about that for the next M6.

The PZ4 and PS4S aren't coming in anything over 305mm wide for 20" still, and only PZero's come in 325/25/21 so there may not be much hope for big steam rollers at the rear just yet

325 PZeros are probably worse overall than 305 PZ4 or PS4S I'd guess too!

Maybe, just maybe your program has been canceled.

Nope. None of them.

I bet it would get a lot less attention without that wrap. They should of kept it as is, or brand it as a non-M 5 series, or a modded f10.

DarthColin · 10-31-2016, 01:46 PM

I just thought of something. Is there not any talk of the rear tail lights being of the oled/organic design that we saw a while ago on that M3 I think it was? That would be cool.

Well knowing bmw, we should consider ourselves lucky if it has led tail lights lol

It might even have halogen turn signals...

M5 will have OLED tails as exclusivity, Scott confirmed so in another thread!
