Thanks for the pic.
What's with the Chrome mirrors??!! Does it come with an ENVY badge as well?!
I really hope this is an artists impression, who has spent to much time doing Audi pictures and got the mirror colour schemes confused. That said, I note they use Chrome mirrors on the Z4 Si model (- I think it was that model). If this is BMW's new design for mirrors, then I think I can guess what the first F10 DIY is going to be!
Other than that, it seems to be heading in the right direction. I hope the real deal is "sharper" than the pic above.

I just like the headline: "With Pontiac out of the picture Buick is free to build sportier cars to compete with the imports" C'mon, does anyone under 60 drive a Buick? Seriously? The last thing they need to do is build "sportier" cars, that would kill off the last of their demographic.

There is no way that BMW is slapping chrome on the F10 M5. That will happen when hell freezes over.

I'm surprised C&D published that picture. Any BMW enthusiast would know that's not even close. Glad I don't subscribe to C&D!

Don't they have to get permission from BMW to show anything? ^
