[QUOTE=SCOTT26]Doh! I always do that mixing up the odd year. What do you think? Concept Version Preview at some small shows/events or straight to series version?

Updated April 26, 2016 with new photos.
The F90 M5 prototype drops more camouflage, revealing the full shape of the headlights and kidney grilles, as well as the shape of the rear tail lights. It also now wears more aggressively styled side skirts and a small trunk lip spoiler. The brake calipers are now painted blue like all steel M brakes. We expect the F80 M5 to launch approximately a year after the standard G30 5 Series is launched, with an online reveal for the F90 M5 coming in Summer 2017, an auto show debut in Fall 2017 and sales beginning at the end of 2017 - early 2018.

You have the X3M and M5. Two out of three.
What's the other new M model testing?

Nordschleife times are the most manipulated times around and why BMW rarely makes the documentation public. There are 3 total configurations (Tourist, Manufacturer, and Race) and different speed restrictions depending on who the responsible party is for the car and the driver's license credentials. There isn't really a completely legal way to combine all of them and not violate a track restriction (Fines) while recording a time that isn't open for dispute. AMS times are also very questionable in a way. They are the most consistent dude to Horst von Saurma as the driver, but he doesn't usually drive above 7-8/10's in the twisty bits. The CTS-V Nordschleife "official" times are well known to be rigged through the use of performance enhancements (Pilot Sport Cup Tires, Magnesium wheels and UDM Wheels) and configurations made in the interest of "safety". Porsche did the same with the 918 by using a fixed roof prototype and de-contented interior. An F10 M5 with Competition Package and M Driver's Package, driven by one specific Factory Test Driver, with nothing but a more appropriate brake pad change on iron brakes, can complete a full lap in under 7:30. The other Factory Drivers can do it in the low 7:30 range. Saying vehicle X is faster than vehicle Z all the time based off various recordings doesn't always work. Take the 918. One of the fastest production cars in the world. Yet it's slower on the Goodwood Hill Climb course than a Rolls Royce Wraith (which was within a few 10ths of a second behind the Bentley Continental GT3-R). |

Scott, how wide is the new Z5? The E89 Z4 I had looked a bit too narrow for my liking.

Look at the relation of the kidney grille to the fake nose cone attached to the front of the car.

Oh alright, thanks! One more question - is the Z5 being positioned as an F-type competitor, or an SLK/TT competitor like the current Z4?

If we get to see one close check the A-pillar structure.
