If that is the new F10 design :thumbsdown: then looks like I will be getting a Audi for my next car
But I still have to see the hole car. It looks like itis going to be a bad 1.

I dont like the lights at all.

My Ride: I have a 2007 Black Sapphire BMW 530i with SMG. It has the auburn interior, has PDC, Sports Package, Premium Package, rear automatic sunshades with manual side sunshades, 35% black tint, Upgraded angeleyes from Angelibrights, and Logic 7 Sound System

I don't understand...v10 5.5 and twin turbos and only 550 hp? I was expecting in the 600 range and hopefully a little lighter also. The current m5 has 500, with twin turbos, i am expecting above 600. I might be wrong though.
