RadzM I know exactly where that is behind the Gold Star burger spot on Brand Blvd near the Car dealerships..... good find... I woulda went inside the burger joint and interrogated the person testing the car... and asked him to spill the info regarding the rest of the design....

Many thanks for taking the time to take these, but it just looks like a 5 series in a crap colour as well.
I do hope it's going to have some "distinguishing" character other than that look. Door mirrors the only change visible.

How fitting that YOU get to spot one. Nice find. Should've peeled off some of that wrap. Curious to know what it sounds like. Apparently, the last bit of engineering they are working on is just that. The sound it makes.

Why? Are you getting one? And that "crap" color is the M exclusive Silverstone.

M "Exclusive" who are you kidding,every BMW on the road has that colour here. I will only buy one if there is "Significant" differences to my 550i M Sport, looking at that there is NOT.

everything that is wrapped will get an overhaul of the Final production : Aggressive style bumpers ///M5 badges , side mirrors etc..... Until thos get slapped on I wont judge it... I only wished that the V8 w/ turbos sounded beastier....

You sure about that? As far as I know, Silverstone is a color you can only get on an M product. Ive been wrong before but I dont think this time. Maybe you think youre looking at titanium silver? And as far as significant differences. Please explain the significant differences youre looking for. Maybe you can point them out on an E60 M5 as compared to a non M E60. Just curious.
