Agree. It looks like a missing front tooth or something.
Having said that, for me it's only a tiny little nitpick.
Overall the thing is gorgeous. Especially in that color.

Calipers

It's interesting that this is the M-Sport and gets blue brake calipers. I don't remember the F10 M-Sport having blue calipers.

I wonder what the standard 5-series will look like compared to this m-sport model?

You only get the blue calipers if you take the optional M Sport brakes.
Just like on other BMW's

The "regular" 5 series can be seen in the press pictures

That has to be plastic because that's where an additional RADAR sensor is. Kind of like how all phones have to have plastic seams somewhere on the body for radio signals to go through.

It can. It's part of the standard Ambient Lighting Package, and you can select from multiple colors, one of which is orange. (It's gonna be my pick for almost all evenings as well)

They can use metal, however it would be hot to touch in summer!
My wife's car has metal adjusters on the vents. When you run the heat, they get red hot. Terrible design idea. Thankfully I'm in Florida so the 7 times a year we have to use the heat means this isn't a big deal.
You should live in Scotland bud, we have trouble with freezing fingers onto "metal" dials in the deep deep deep winters we have here.

Car looks great...Except that "little M badge" on the side of the car - looks so out of place and like a tacky add on.

I agree the hood line looks much better now that it is more integrated with grills/front of the car.

If you get the luxury line, you get metal switch gear.

Looks great! Now take all the phony M nonsense off the car and stop diluting the M division to scrape a few more bucks off the ignorant consumer.

That's exactly the problem, the blocky silver trim that looks preschoolish. Just change that to all black in an m5 and it'll be great.

I have been waiting for an F10 M5 since they came out. Now that everyone's running to this UFO, my dream is soon to become real

I agree and I do not like the amount of buttons on the steering wheel. Wish they would just keep it simple.

Order the ceramic controls option. I had this on a 650i GC. They look fabulous and give a metallic feel to all of the controls. Much higher-end experience. The only downside is that they get really hot after they've been sitting in the sun.

That dashboard is so ugly lol

I completely agree! Give me that steering wheel with black/carbon fiber trim and it would look way better. All I need to see on the new M5 to be sold is:
1. M mirrors ??
2.Thinner shift paddles
3. Unique seats (think x5m)
4. Aggressive rear end
5. 600+ horsepower, AWD (w/ rear bias), 400 pounds lighter, carbon fiber roof...and a few other minor details ????

THANK YOU! I seriously thought I was the only one that was going to comment about this....


I swear to god, BMW M division is now officially worthless. They've milked the brand for far too long during these last 5 years. From the M2353894i to all the extra M badging on the most basic models.

Seriously, WTF is this bullshit?!


This is the kind of shit kids buy off of eBay to put onto their broken E46 328i's. BMW now makes factory poser cars. In 10-20 years when kids pick up used G30's off Craigslist, they won't need to put M vinyls and badges on them.

Sorry, I had to vent. /rant


Interior looks nice, not a fan of kidney grilles becoming bigger than the headlights with each generation.

The US market has not been getting the small M logos. Probably won't again. No more M on the wheels which is good

Is it really that big of a deal. What is a big deal is how the car drives. You don't buy badging. You buy a car
