The Indianapolis MotoGP race takes places this weekend and BMW is putting on a BMW M Experience for a lucky group of 50 M enthusiasts who have signed up for the event, which starts today and ends Sunday.
Besides the special access to the MotoGP race and paddocks, BMW will be providing these enthusiasts with hot laps in M safety cars driven by M school instructors, as well as a personal presentation of the F10 M5 sedan by M executives. They will also get the world's first look at the F10 M5 safety car, the first pics of which we've posted below.
We'll have full details on the F10 M5 safety car soon, but what know so far is that it features an Akropovic lightweight titanium race exhaust, high performance coilover suspension, gloss black 20" wheels, front spoiler lip, trunk spoiler, Recaro pole position bucket seats (on power seat rails), race brake pads.
It also features black (either matte or gloss) side gill trim and kidney grilles, dispensing with the factory chrome versions for a sportier look. Our guess is that both parts will be available as part of the catalog of F10 M5 BMW Performance Parts.
Watch for more details/media on the F10 M5 (including safety car) and our coverage of the BMW M Experience @ Indy MotoGP throughout the weekend!
