iND -- How about some double slat M6-type grills for the M5?
I was inspired by the drawing of the LCI upgrade. Now every time I see a M6 can't help think how cool it would be on the M5.

Yes. I'm going to change my grille for the LCI version once available.

The double slatted grills were never confirmed for the LCI M5. That was only a concept illustration. I do hope they bring the badge back. I delayed my purchase to order the LCI. I hope it was worth it.

It'll be interesting to see whether the M5 LCI has the double-slatted M6 style grille, but from what we've seen of the LCI, it looks as though the grille has been re-shaped. I don't think it's going to be a one-for-one swap. Too bad.

Really? The shape looks the same to me.

I thought that it looked like the headlights and grille were (vertically) shorter. But I hope that I'm wrong and you're right.

Yeah from what I can tell a double slatted grill hasn't been confirmed for the LCI M5 yet.
