First off, Gerald, that is an amazing render and I'm definitely going to be using it as my new wallpaper. I'm very excited about this new ///M5 and this is just making me drool more.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the first prototypes of the //M3 have mirrors which looked like it didn't have the E36 style "stalks"? And then the stalk mirrors got added on very late in the testing cycle? I will see if I can find any pictures, but if someone else remembers before I do, please comment on this...
Love the render, damn
