"...Under the hood of the new Ring Taxi we found the high-revving 4.4 liter V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo package. The engine is combined with a race-bred chassis technology that includes, for the first time, an Active M differential and electronic damping control. It can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 4.4 seconds, and 0-200km/h in only 13 seconds. The voluntarily limited top speed is 250km/h. The new M5 Saloon will be available in the UK in November 2011, priced at £ 73,040 on-the-road.The exterior design includes a front apron with extremely large air intakes for the engine and brakes, an athletically flared wheel arches to emphasise the wide track, hallmark M ?gills? with integrated indicator bars, an aerodynamically optimised rear apron with diffuser between the right and left-hand pair of twin exhaust tailpipes, a gurney-style rear spoiler on the boot lid and 19-inch M light-alloy wheels in exclusive double-spoke design.

On the steering wheel you will spot two M Drive buttons which call up two individually configured set-ups for the car. Furthermore, there are sports seats, a M leather steering wheel, and an M-specific instrument cluster and leather-covered center console...."

sweet find Gene! thanks for posting.... just noticed the brake calipers are not blue as we have been speculating. perhaps the paint matched brake calipers will be an option.

I agree it makes the car look a little cheap. The gills kinda reminds me of the CTS-V

If you de-chrome the side gills and either go with paint matched, gloss or matte black, gills will be more appealing IMO
