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.

1. The new M5 front bumper looks just like the e9x M3 front. There is no M6 here to be found. The bottom middle also curves downward just like the M3.
2. Power dome is good. Agreed.
3. I have an M3 and I can assure you, the dome is not just for looks. The V8 clears the plane of the hood.
4. I agree with you on this one. The 4.4 tt would seriously dilute the M badge. M5 deserves better.
