I think BMW M team screw up on this M5. Seem like they are not sure where to draw the lines.

So what does sets this apart from the 550 other than the added performance which can not be tapped in the states?

I like the rear end, but the front just kills the whole car. I think the 550 msport front looks better.

I completely agree with most everything here.
I'm not crazy about it. Should be much more agressive. I'm sure the engine wil be a beast, torque will be there, mechanically it will be an amazingly sound car with a ton of power. Without a doubt.
But it's going to be a fat monster of a car any which way we look at it. Probably pushing 4,500+ pounds.
The front air dam is very M3-esque. The rear doesn't look that great, I think the 550i M-Sport has a nicer rear with the rectangular blacked out tips and the rear M-Sport bumper.
The side skirts are boring, the hood is boring, the side vent is a bigger version of ours, the mirrors suck, the rear diffusor doesn't look good at all, car is very unemotional.
I'm not sure how much the production M5 will change from this concept but I'm just not crazy about it, I don't even like it.
The E39, E60, and E90/E92 cars all look much nicer than this Concept M5.
Hoping they make some changes.
