Simply pointing out that at ~ $90K, this car should be more "distinct" in appearance. Clearly, to each his own, and this this is why they make both vanilla and chocolate ice cream.
In what ways could they have made the M5 more distinct without making it look tacky? Wider fenders? The F10 is too wide as it is. Bigger intake scoops? They are freaking humongous. You are paying for the performance/luxury. If you want a flashy car that stands out, M5 certainly isn't for you. I am not drinking kool-aid, I'm just pointing out BMW M5 tradition of subtlety. Wait for the upcoming XF-RS for something "distinct"
