No mate dead sure, I will find some pictures and post them up. Just checked, here in the UK the "M Colour" is SILVERSTONE ii.
Thats were I got things wrong sorry. I think thats supposed to read silverstone 2

Nice man! Thanks for sharing!

+1 to Polepositions comment, you should have pulled some of that vinyl off to get a closer look, or at least cop-a-feel of what's underneath. Lolol

That's right, I did try talking to the person driving the car, I asked him if this is the new M5 and he answered that he is not supposed to talk about it and I probably know more than he does.

PS: You will need a gun, if you need him to spill the info you want.

Nice catch!

How about some interior shots? Did it have the DCT transmission?

The tranny area is all covered up in black cloth and I didn't see any paddle shifters either and i cant remember if i saw 2 or 3 pedals. I wish I could have taken more pictures, it's just feels weird taking pictures and getting caught by the driver. Noticeables are, there's a camera I think in front of the grills(left side), chrome door handles and front bumper looks pretty aggressive in person even though it's camo covered.

I'm pretty sure this beast will WOW a lot of peeps, there's something about the car that feels so different than the regular F10 when I got closer, I can feel the force. Besides the F10's design is growing on me.
