Better than a panamera??? Bold claim from a company that is yet to produce a decent eps and weight reductions to its cars. The new 7 shed 100kg? The new A4, a car allready lighter than the 7 shed as much if not more kgs.

Panamera is M6 GC competition, not M5.

Any chance of a V10 in this car, Scott?
Better chance of eDrive assist.

You don't compare the weight reduction of two cars in COMPLETELY different classes. The 7 series is twice size of the the A4. Compare the 1 series to the G-wagen next. And by the way, Audi claims 120 kg reduction, that doesn't mean it's true.

Oh yes the Audi A4 with its weight loss depending on which engine you take.

Exactly. If you like the look of the Vision Future Luxury you will love the next 6er Gran Coupe.

I was speaking to Jason earlier whilst I checked on-line and it is listed as G90.

No decent EPS? So its obvious you are either mental or have not driven the new F8x cars that keep winning every comparison test they get put through.

Also regarding the G12, sure it may have only lost a couple hundred pounds, but also bear in mind the tremendous amount of new tech added to the car.

No particular reason, there's gonna be a couple of new ///M cars in the upper range of the F-numbers.

Can you give us any word on the when an updated 50d engine will be releasing? Will it be introduced with the G11/12 or will it come with the G30?

They are test wheels with track tires... so yes.. makes sense they are old.. although clearly.. they probably aren't E28 wheels... those were 16s right?

I believe that wheel was the BBS RN.. and it came out before the RX. Of course, if I am wrong.. I am sure someone will probably correct me!

Good to hear that the M halo cars are sticking to RWD.

While it's way too early to do any speculating about the Drive Train or Power Train, this does confirm one thing. That the 2016 F10 M5 is the last model year M5 for the F10 generation and that the next generation M5 will be out uncharacteristically early based on past generation production years.

Although I highly doubt that I will be moving from the F10 M5 to the new "G90" M5, there are however, some things we can pretty much guarantee what the next generation M5 will incorporate:

- Some sort of AWD system that is either optional or selectable on the fly in the car.
- Better efficiency that the F10 M5, meaning better mpg. I'm going to guess at least 22mpg for EPA ratings.
- Floating iDrive Screen.
- Turn Signals moved from the fender to the side view mirrors.
- Some of the technology from the G11 7-Series, I'm going to say that the touch screen iDrive, air gesture tech, and climate control touch screens will at least make it into the next M5.
- Lighter than the F10 M5 to some degree.
