The side gills are hideous.... They look like they belong on a Kia.
Aside from that, pretty cool.

I like the front of the new F10 not to crazy about the head lights and if the rear would somehow resembles the one of the E60 would been ideal for me..

They honestly should have used a jet black E60 M5. You'd have a much harder time making a choice. Silver right now on the E60 makes them look dated.

Is it really true that fuel economy for the F10 M5 is 24 mpg US??
