How about differentiating the cars by giving them class leading dynamics and steering feel and unique race tech inspired drivetrains . Nah too expensive put more m badges on it , give it a CF roof and some nice seats and people will go woot woot .

+1

If the next M5 is to be AWD the 0-100 time should be aiming for well under 7 seconds as well as best driving dynamics.

As much as I'd like different components I'd hope the ones that are changed first reduce weight, improve handling and acceleration. A 5 series has never been a bad cabin to sit in!

Under 7sec ... yep no doubt about that

Those be the "Laser lights" on thee car not the normal LED or Xenon lights in the new pic.

BMWonlyZone · 10-07-2016, 10:18 AM

Looks like there is a bit of rigid cammo near the rear wheel... Could that be some hidden "flaring" on the sheet metal. Cant tell if I am seeing things or not, but looks like they might be hiding something.

BMWonlyZone · 10-07-2016, 10:26 AM

I agree with the posts about weight loss. Hopefully the car went on a big diet. I saw a prototype of the base 5 series in Woodcliff Lake near HQ last week; it looks even bigger and wider than my F10. We'll see.

I will be one of the first to get this new M5, but I have no idea WTF to get between my lease end in March and the release of this car about 2 years from now. Bored with the rest of BMW"s lineup. X6M might have been a contender if it wasn't so damn ugly. Performance is certainly there, but geez.....

She's looking goooooodddddd

I think that goes without saying but it's about time BMW provides a more complete package. There was no excuse to launch the F10 M5 with little to no change in the interior from the base F10 and I think this is what makes the E63 and RS6 more attractive to the consumer which does a better job differentiating between models.

That's some pretty amazing analysis !

I'm in a similar boat with my F80 lease ending next December. I'm probably gonna SwapALease for like 8 months or something. X5M would be a good choice through the winter - I also hate the X6M styling. I might check out a Jeep SRT.

x5mannn · 10-07-2016, 05:14 PM

How about an M 6 until the M5 is available.

flyga3 · 10-08-2016, 12:48 PM

Vader seats are back!! ??

georgere · 10-08-2016, 07:01 PM

Seats are nice.

gmfive · 10-09-2016, 11:50 AM

Skinnier seats like those in the Ferrari 488 or the new Panamera will greatly improve the rear seat legroom in the M5. They will be a welcome addition along with that CF roof. F10 has been extremely reliable for me, hope that continues with the next gen model.

Redrckt135 · 10-10-2016, 12:49 AM

Hoping those seats are just as comfortable as my current f10 seats. Very excited about the new mirrors and carbon fiber roof!

Well, if this is true

Guess the new M5 will have too much torque to continue using Getrag DCT, will use ZF's automatic instead.....

You mentioned to me last May the new M5 had upgraded M-DKG in it, now reports of ZF8, did something change in that timeframe?

From what I know M5 shares the same idea with the X5M and X6M as the Auto-Transmission with DKG features.

SCOTT26 · 03-13-2017, 07:27 PM

Here is the 19" multi-spoke standard wheel.

I guess bicolored wheels are in fashion at the moment.
