I wouldn't say that it borrows on the M3 front, we all know the M3 borrowed on the M6...

However, the dome is a good sign that they're going to be making the new M5 more pronounced than a regular 5-series.

The dome on the M3 is there for looks, it was there for looks on the E46 as well, not b/c of the V8. I doubt the dome is more than just cosmetic.

Hopefully they'll be putting in a TT V10 and not the same engine from the X5/6 M.

The rear brake caliper is awfully small to be on an M. But who knows, maybe that's needed for the ceramic rotors.
