positiveions · 07-15-2011, 01:13 PM

good stuff

MilehighM3 · 07-15-2011, 01:28 PM

That M5 appears to be Stratus Grey Metallic? An individual already?

I think its a M3 badge, its just the lighting playing the trick.
However, I did notice that M3 badge is bigger than the normal one?

We should wait it out. Exhaust flaps were probably closed. I wanna hear it WOT. But I don't think we should expect much from the sound department considering how the X5/6M sound like Golf GTIs

Sounds like it's using the same exhaust configuration as the X5/X6 M.

It's supposed to emulate the sound of a 180-degree crankshaft (i.e. Ferrari) and sound more "exotic" but it doesn't do anything for me.

I would rather hear the shrieking howl of a 90-degree V8.... with the exception being an actual Ferrari V8 of course.

Def weird that it doesnt have the blue brakes.

On the CRT if you watch the video in hi-res, it def looks like a normal M3 badge...

The M5 is finished in Champagne Quartz with matching Champagne interior.

Regarding the question of M division putting the M5 badge on an M3.... Come on ... seriously?

MsCaballoVerde · 07-15-2011, 06:58 PM

Love the color on that M5...
would love to have seen some interior shots, which seem non-existent no matter what the exterior (so far I like the Havanna the best, and of course maintaining the black trim/wheels...)

BUT look at that floating rear caliper on that $100K car, & please, BMW, tell me what happened? My 1997 Mustang wears those, fercryinoutloud!

M5 really suits that colour. I'm not a fan of the black wheels but the rest is good.

bluecoupe · 07-15-2011, 10:51 PM

Those black wheels aren't doing it for me. And the detail (pinstripes) on the spoiler and airdam along with the interior look like Harley Davidson was in the house. I'm sure it's a great performing car, but that looks like it's from Milwaukee, not Munich.

That M5 sounds better than i thought it would have

No i'm sure thats not a M5 badge,thats the reflection!

Falafel Combo · 07-16-2011, 06:51 AM

Wow. I was not expecting this much win.

Is this telling at all of the F30 M3 to come? We can only hope ...

This car has awoken feelings in me.

Falafel Combo · 07-16-2011, 07:02 AM

I've watched this clip about 9 times already.

1. Adjust settings to 1080p
2. Turn volume up. Way up.
3. Rinse, lather, repeat as necessary

SilverII · 07-16-2011, 07:07 AM

oh ya!!!!

Ferrari V8s are flat plane, I don't think this V8 or the M3's is of the flat plane type

Is it just me or what. I heard the M3 CRT exhaust sound like something kicking from inside the exhaust when she starts up the engine. Somehow its different with the basic M3 and better I think.

It's not a regular M3 exhaust. It's got a "sports exhaust system"

Oops, sorry I didn't read that. Do you know some type of exhaust that have the same sound with that? I found it really cool.
Anyway, thanks Jason

Try asking our M3 owners in the M3post exhaust modification forum - http://www.m3post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=124

There's bound to be some exhaust out there that sounds similar.

That's an M5 INDIVIDUAL. Clearly they chose to have their calipers BLACK. Rather than blue as it would not match their body and wheel color
