Hi,

No reason to be worried - the picture is taken at the Nürburgring, where BMW takes the cars into their limit

soo many people on different forums have been complaining that it isnt aggressive enough... isnt the whole point of an m5 that it should be ferrari fast but with conservative styling? the e60 broke many rules and it looks great but its too conspicuous for my liking and this f10 looks just right, imposing enough but conservative..

Looks like BMW also eliminated the extra weight of lug screws

You know what I realised...

The M3 Sedan has the front headlights that are EXACTLY the same as the 3 Series Coupe! Meaning the M3 sedan doesn't have the same sedan headlights as the normal 3 Series sedans! This gets even more interesting because the X5M does the same thing! The X5M has different headlights to the normal X5! The X5M has the same headlights as the X6/X6M!

I think the M5 should also do the same and chuck out those confused headlights to say 5GT headlights or even the new speculated 6 Series headlights! Or even the F01 headlights are better looking than the shitty normal F10 5 Series headlights!

Thats not the M5.

As the other member alluded to the body roll is way too much for an M product secondly the dead give away its not the M is the fact that only one tire is smoking which only means were looking at the 550 platform. Remember you can mount 19's and M5 brakes on any model. Unless Bmw changed their philosophy a true M car has Limited Slip Diff, saying that and looking at the picture thats not the M5. Its just my deductive reasoning not an opinion.

I completely agree, and also, the front looks identical to the M-sport package. The obvious performance (or lack there of) of the pictured car to an M car and the fact that there is no difference between this car and an M-sport tells me - that's not the M
