It screams boring.

No V10, no talk.

[Nsane]

If I were to buy an M5, it would still be the E39.

[Bender Unit]

BMW lost their edge for their new gen. 5 & 6 series
Very boring exterior style.
AMG E sedan / coupe, please

[twitchyzero]

you dilute the M line with cars like X6 M and people will find the M3/5/6 boring


///Marketing

[TOPEC]

it looks like a e90 m3 refresh

[PornMaster]

the border around the side vents looks misplaced

[Stealthy]

Rear taillights are strikingly similar to the is350. Meh not so appealing as its predeccesors

Why is the front end and rear end so flat?!?!

[TypeRNammer]

Not sure, ask a JB girl the same question :troll:

[Cillu]

Mmm... I don't really like it...

[kj604]

It it just me or does it look odd from the side view?

[flagella]

sigh.... it looks so weird.

C'mon wtf this looks way better.

[wstce92]

Still have to give them props for offering a manual though. Not going to find that on a E63 or RS6.

[CharlieH]

i would take it over the e60 even if it looked like a bag of shit just because it doesn't have the HORRID smg transmission

[!SG]

F10 is the chassis number, eg e39, e60... they have rolled into the F's now. it probably still has the same power plant or a modified version of the v10 w/ twin scroll turbos.

^ dual clutch....SMG III is actually pretty smooth if you drive it a like a manual....ie. lift off throttle slightly when you shift. Also choosing faster shifts pts, smooths out the tranny.....

[GG]

not bad, but something looks weird in the front

I think it looks more like the g35 sedan than the IS series

They knocked off two cylinders and added a pair of turbos.

Sure it's going to produce more power and a bit better on the fuel economy but it's gonna sound like an exotic car =\

when BMW announces the performance # of the F10 M5...I am pretty sure the new M5 will look better. This looks way better than the new E63....boring.....

completely different engines....the V10 is a high compression high rev motor, Vs the new TT V8....big torque, but not many revs......V8 with TT will never sound more exotic than a V10 with headers

[e60m5]

most likely comes with smg again.

where have u been? It comes with a DCT

[TOPEC]

its powered by a V8 TWINSCROLL TWIN TURBO pumping out 560HP and 501TQ
it also comes with the new 7speed DCT

ps: i think SG's just trying to troll us all here lol

[lol]

Is this SMG no good on the E39? I was considering buying the 545i w. SMG but I guess I could just opt out and get the auto. There are a number of cars in that price range I am considering, I still have 10 months before I get my license back lol

IMO, the new 5 series is a step back in styling however I think the thing looks a lot better in person but still doesn't have that excitement of the last gen. Pretty disappointing to see BMW move to a way more conservative design.

[124Y]

I think it looks good, but the E39 is still the M5 of my choice.

[CharlieH]

its smooth, but it shifts incredibly slow unless you're hitting redline. i drove an m3 dct and fell in love with that thing. might have even considered it over a 6mt if i was to ever get one lol.

E39s never came with smg. and the smg in the e60 545 is SMG1 i believe, which is complete shit. i'd opt for the auto and save some money when the time for repairs come.

[Rich Sandor]

I still like the e39 the best. :)

[freakshow]

Here are some more production pics, specs and size info

Sorry I meant E60. Damn chassis codes haha :D

[death_blossom]

the front looks good to me. it is like the M3's bigger, more powerful older brother.
but I'm not feeling the back, too boring.

the first post is blank? the linked pictures don't appear to be working.


edit: after thinking about BMW's current car designs, it makes me think that maybe BMW needs Chris Bangle back?! :eek:

[bcrdukes]

BMW needs Chris Bangle back?! :eek:

This

[Boostslut]

I don't care what anyone says, i'd rock this M5 till the cows come home. Awesome.. or maybe i'm just boring.

[TypeRNammer]

If you're gonna fail me, back it up with a post :troll:

Start at 45 seconds, this is why I love the v10 in the previous generation, sounds so bau5 that you would scare kids with :haha:

[falcon]

Makes me want to fall asleeep.

[dark0821]

E60 is where its at....

F10 is appealing to more buyers of this category I think, cuz they wont want to work for their power...i assume that people who are in the market for M5s are big business men or whatever... (unless you are in Richmond, then its ... just ..umm ya)

the new F10 V8TT is smth like 501TQ @ 1500rpm.... "American Muscle" anyone?

[Dinan3]

Good news, this means I'm a step closer to afford a V10 N/A.

[StylinRed]

i like it but it just doesnt look like an M5

but then again


im a fan of the e28 M

Skip to 1:30, V10 sounds good, but the S62 V8 was the best.

I am a fan of the E28 as well...until the repair bills come in

[tofu1413]

would still perfer the E39 gen for a M5.

current F10 series 5 series are quite bloated.. theyre about the same size as the last gen 7 series.

still, the madonna "star" commercial was just :fuckyea:


im pretty sure most of us would perfer the exotic sound of the older E60 series V10 howl over the newer perhaps muffled twin turbo V8 sound.


the E39 NA 5.0 V8 sounds awesome in real life... and especially with an aftermarket system.

[e60m5]

I think all the M5 will have high repair bills.

[knight604]

I'm nabbing one.

[ruthless]

Sounds pretty nice to me start from :19...can only hear the beast roar for a few seconds :(

[slammer111]

The front intakes are looking huge, but actually I think the F10 is one of the nicest-looking 5ers out of all of 'em. Definitely nicer than the current gen imo.

[Kickit604]

nothing too special >.<

[RangeRoverTurbo]

Where's the M5 that made Madonna Wet herself? I still think the smaller e28 and e39 m5 is where it should be at! the smaller nimble yet practical saloon

I agree that the new M5 styling is too subtle and boring, but AMG E class..that is even more boring....most times I can't even tell if it is an AMG or not.

Let's wait to see the performance stats from the new F10 M5.
