Unfortunately I agree with Urban Legend. Things have settled down on this side of the forum. The F10 M5 and F12/F13 M6 are approaching three years old now and the LCI already came out over a year ago. So there is pretty much nothing new for this community. Even the updates to the 2015 F10 M5 and M6 are relatively minor. There haven't been very many deliveries of new 2015 M5's and M6's this month either. The main focus has been on the F80/F82 M3/M4 since it was released as a brand new ///M Model last month. So we are really going through a lull in the M5 community right now and unfortunately the lull just began. I'd say it pretty much began as soon as the new M3 and M4 hit the streets. The last major thing for the M5 was the 30-Year Edition and those don't get delivered until the fall.
I made a comment on another section of the forum that this is what we have to look forward to for the next 4+ years, this debating between the two classes of M cars, and to me it's already gotten old.
One thing that also doesn't help is that it's been nearly 3 years since the F10 M5 was released and the tuning community has not been able to crack the encryption fully on the S63tu, so we are still not seeing 1,000hp S63tu engines with stock turbos, and probably never will.
If you are a person that switches cars regularly, now doesn't seem to be good time to buy a new F10 M5 and try to do something new, because everything has pretty much been done already. So I'm afraid the best we will have from now on are threads about new kinds of wheels being fitted to M5's and M6's.
At least with the old E60 M5 community, that community has tuners who makes superchargers and stroker engines and just before the F10 M5 came out, it was relatively unknown how a supercharged V10 would perform, so it kept things new and exciting for a long time. When I was considering keeping or selling my old E60 M5 and getting the new F10 M5, one of the reasons why I wanted to keep it, was to supercharge it. We don't have that option with the F10 M5. Instead, all we can really do is hope that someone out there can full crack the encryption and offer a real tune that produces some serious power gains, but hope is the key word there.
The next generation Gxx M5 will be on the streets around the fall of 2018 (that's my prediction anyways) as a 2019 model year, so that's still over 5 years away. In the mean time, the next generation X5M, X6M, and BMW M2 will be ///M Divisions next big thing and then the next 5-Series will come out as a 2016 model year and hit the streets in 2015, which is only right around the corner, so we'll get to see what the next M5 will potentially look like. Also there's a good chance that the engine used in the next generation X5M/X6M will be the one that is used in the next M5 as well (will most likely be another Twin Turbo V8).
I almost forgot one more point. I'd say that within the next year or so, we will start to see M5's around the world cross the 50,000 mile threshold and therefore we can look forward to threads about what goes wrong with peoples M5's in the future.
