If that is the new F10 design :thumbsdown: then looks like I will be getting a Audi for my next car

I dont like the lights at all.

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.
