I'm a fan of understatement but this is a little too quiet for my tastes. BMW is putting the M5 squarely into executive super sedan territory (much like the RS6). That said, I suppose this isn't really different from where the M5 sat before, it just never really had the looks to go along with the classification.

I guess BMW decided that anyone who could really afford an M5 would already have something sporty in their garage anyway. I have no doubt that it will be fast as all get out but I would have liked a few more visual cues as to the car's abilities. I still like it better than the E60.

And the side vents - ugh. Maybe Pontiac was having a fire sale on leftover G8 components.
