Question

Hi guys

BMW invited reporters from various countries to test drive the new M5. Here are some pics found in our local newspaper (Hong Kong), thought u might be interested.

Notice the test driver's speedo and techo meters: 230 km/h @ 7000 rpms, wow !

A few more pics, according to the reporter, BMW had 20 M5s available to the press to "play" with that day.

Dont know the name (looks like white to me), but I bet you it gets dirty very quickly.

Not really, I dont see that many M5s (the previous model) on the street here in Hong Kong. I guess the price tag makes it rather exclusive :'(

(But it sure is nice to read and day dream about it )

The interior colour is Silverstone. Yeah, its gonna be hell to maintain that colour...

If i could spec an M5, it would be carbon black with the Ecru-light merino leather, champagne alcantra headliner and piano black gloss finish trim. Yum!

this makes me think of the new m5 not being as "exclusive" as it used to be. Same as M3, maybe 7 or 8 years ago they were exotic, now it seems they are not interested in making it rare.
