So Westchester BMW got their first M-Sport 535xi and my sales guy called me up to take a look at it. I just can't get Darth Vader out of my mind everytime I see this. I'm really not liking this, it looks like a cheap Japanese knock off!
God I hope the M5 looks nothing like this.

Looks good to me.

I like the E60's M Sport front bumper more than this. But it does make the F10 look more aggressive than stock.

it's not the front that concerns me, it's the rear, that diffuser and placement of reflectors

You're right Gene. The rear bumper's lines are all uneven and sort of cobbled together looking.

It looks too compressed or short. The E60 msport bumper really came down much more and that's what gave the car the aggressive look.

I really like this, it looks like standard M Sport styling, lower front bumper, fogs, wide low grill mesh etc . I have not seem an M Sport yet but the standard F10's do make the E60 look dated especially the back end. I still like the look of my car but the design is showing its age and I am not likely to change it for another year when a decent F10 M Sport comes along within budget and a year or so old. What I am not so keen on in the photos is the wheels, the E60 18's are horrible and I changed to 172's straight away which transform the car and it looks like the same BMW nonsense here that will change in a year to a better style for loads more ££££££££'s again

I sure hope that BMW comes out with hotter wheels for the F10 M Sport because the current ones are not original -- they look like copies of the 2006-09 Infiniti M's 19 inch wheels that came with the sport package. They were good looking wheels but not nearly as stunning and original as the 172s. BMW is fully capable of making some great wheel designs
