I also like it. Very exclusive and unique, like the interior though, and if the mirrors are unacceptable to some, chop them off

I like the M5 in red.
This particular M5 looks nice on the exterior, but the inside is too much for me. I would prefer having the CF trim in the more traditional black color.

Red is a nice color for an M5, but those blue mirrors and this red interior trim just looks dirt cheap. Like it is some kind of playground equipment. :thumbsdown:

The mirrors are not completely blue. They are painted in the 3 strips of the ///M
So does that make it look less ugly don't think so.

Didnt notice the mirrors or the beige interior. One pic showed them as white. So if the interior was white and u rip the mirrors off, thats one hell of an M5
I thought it was white too, if they rip off those red carbon fiber and have a white interior than it will be better. But red is not my colour though.

kinda overkill with the red. Shoulda left the interior with grey or just black console to replace the reds or just some red , but not the whole center !. O and the side mirrors WTF were they thinking. Looks cheaply done.

What the hell is with those mirrors and this guy has like two //M badges in the interior. I think we get the point that it's a //M car
