F10 M5 Dealer Launch Day in the UK at Harold Wood

misterbeemer · 12-02-2011, 05:35 PM

That is one lovely car!

AC Schvantzer · 12-02-2011, 06:03 PM

Awesome. Too bad the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

catalyst · 12-02-2011, 06:05 PM

I would never order a blue car, but I can't see the new M5 in any other color now.

Consider me a MCB convert

i was just saying the samething. The steering is on the wrong side lol.

Singapore Grey is the best. Imagine that with Cohiba Brown interior, yellow break pads and yellow front European license plates???????????/

Wooooo!

SHOWTIME · 12-02-2011, 06:22 PM

I love the car, but come onnnnn! What's up with the blue calipers? Not only is the color cheesy, but the rear ones look better on my E92 that I colored myself

boosted43 · 12-02-2011, 06:28 PM

I can't wait til these start coming off of leases...that won't be for forever though

eMvy · 12-02-2011, 06:35 PM

Stunning...but why would you take a close up shot of the rear instead of front brakes?

AlpineMan · 12-02-2011, 06:37 PM

Prestige BMW has one in MCB already!

E92LNGCGY · 12-02-2011, 07:48 PM

This thing is such a beast. I want one.

TheBingoBalls · 12-02-2011, 07:55 PM

I'm really interested in seeing how many F10 M5's BMW sells. A lot of marketing went into the launch of the M5 and is much more "friendly" looking than the E60.

Hopefully we start seeing reviews/comparisons!

doesn't matter, will still be expensive as shizz

turb0mik3 · 12-02-2011, 08:08 PM

Not really feeling the "design" of the brakes. Looks a little flat and needs more angles, like the AMG brakes.

BMW1986 · 12-02-2011, 08:39 PM

Sick!! Did anyone notice how cheap the paint looks on the calipers?

M5007 · 12-02-2011, 08:43 PM

Both colors are awesome. Loving the grey

Yup

phish_100 · 12-02-2011, 09:03 PM

I was thinking the opposite - finally, an m5 with the steering wheel on the right side :-/

Couldn't agree more .....

It was quite bizarre bribing it on the left side. Really looking forward to driving this beast again, on the right side, when it is mine !

IancoleTX · 12-02-2011, 09:08 PM

This is easily one of the best looking and most desirable BMWs to date. Amazing work.

1! I completely agree! Looks good with blue and blue calipers but looks off with the grey :/

Ateam · 12-02-2011, 09:37 PM

See, this is why I hate "window shopping"! However being on this site is too tough because you cannot help but see new cool things! However my m3 really felt slow after I read and see more about the M5. To top it off the X6M thread where it ran in the 11s for quarter (with a tune) and really made my car feel slow! I only got my m3 this past year but the end of my 3 year lease won't come quickly enough as I really am already super excited to start building my m5. I wish the timing was better for me and I could have got a first year production but by 3rd year maybe Ill just catch the LCI.

The ONLY things I do not like about this car are the side gill's (the chrome piece and shape is just too plain and similar to the Kia). And the hood. I just do not like the shape of the new 5er hood or 3er hood with the 2 lines down the middle. Luckily those things are both easily fixed and will make this car absolutely stunning and perfect. 555hp-Cannot even fathom how hard this thing pulls. It will completely beat down the old m5 and absolutely anhiliate the current m3. Would not even be close, even around a track!

Do you really think that? Just judging off the e60 and e63 m5 and 6 when they were being sold 2-3 years old with 35-40k miles they're pricing dropped significantly. That being said we'll wait and see. However I still think they'll be In the high 50's or low 60's. We'll see though.
