I'm still not sold on the hood. I don't like the abrupt line across the hood. I hope this gets updated at some point. I know this was done to pedestrian safety, but there has to be another way. It really kills the flow of the front end. Just my $0.02.

I don't know, for some reason that hood line looks natural on the 5er but looks awkward on the 3er.

I would agree that some of the pics don't do the new m5 any justice there was some awful shots of the new m5, with that being said I would love to see more of the f10 in alpine white.

The new F10 M5 looks great. Can't wait to see it in person.

I will take that as a compliment - taken with a point and shoot waterproof camera, in a parking lot surrounded by people and cars, shadows from buildings, and then the last few in the midday washed out lighting. Photos are unedited. There are plenty of pics on the forum of the car on its own, from every angle.

If you like the regular F10 in person, you will like this alot. It works. The front end is alot more blunt and aggressive than the E60, but perhaps that's what it needs to contrast with its otherwise svelte styling.

You are probably one of very few...I think it looks vastly better than the e60, which many (myself included) consider one of the ugliest BMWs ever made (Dame Edna's, funky slab sides, weird cut lines, goofy rear lights, econocar interior, etc). Sorry, but the F10 is a beauty.

I like the old M5 better...

This event attracts alot of fancy machinery, like an Enzo, Alfa 8C, Ferrari FF etc - It just doesn't interest me...

There was a lot of nice iron at this event. I didn't think there were so many car guys here in Jersey!

The funniest thing was what happened when the M5 drove past the FF that had drawn a very large crowd (for good reason- nice car!) - about a third of the crowd saw the M5 and started following it. It was a little easier to see the Ferrari after that.
