Looks like X6M wheels on steroids.

Too bad they got rid of those BBS wheels, but these look great too.

Those wheels looks an awful lot like the M-sport wheels - just in black.

The worst part about BMW's new M5 will be the sound of it's engine. It will no longer inspire an audible orgasm when you hear it like the V10 did. Very sad. =( It is one of the most defining elements of the E60 M5's legend.

I wonder if they'll use different mirrors . so far both the m and non-m side mirrors look identical.

for sure will get different mirrors..test mules are more about the engine, suspension, transmission...doubt much testing needs to be done to the mirror
