Without AWD and on the existing hp, 1st and 2nd were already useless on the street. Extra 32hp for 3rd gear and above...

I agree. If I had not just bought a 2014 CP and could choose between the two, I think I would still choose the same. No doubt this will be a cool iteration, but 575 HP (rated) is awesome and I am so finicky about getting colours etc that I want. In a few years, I may try the upcoming M3 (LCI) and then salivate while I wait for the G-series M5. The other thing that stands out to me is that (practically speaking with this car "rated" at 592 HP) the G series is going to start at 600 HP with hybrid power on top of that or at least mid-series updates to get to 630-640 HP (rated). Add a slimmer waistline (and hopefully no growth in basic size) and it has the makings of a monster

Some 2014 CP owners felt superior to the pre LCIs and non CP's ... now not so much

I have to disagree. I took the car up to Lime Rock Park in CT last week for a Skip Barber one day school with my son. At the end of the day, they let me run the M5 on the Autocross kidney track. it is a small track, so I was basically running the entire lap in 2nd gear. It took a lap or two for me to get smooth rolling ont he throttle, but once I did, there was no problem getting the power to the rear wheels without breaking them loose. Honestly, the best part was hearing the "oh, crap" from the Skip Barber instructor riding shotgun every time I got on the gas!

It's cool that BMW will unveil a 30th Year Anniversary Edition M5 this year. 592hp from the factory does sound great though and all of the little accents and extras that will come to the car will make it a little more special for sure. But I almost can't help but feel like this is just another money grab for BMW. This 30th Year Anniversary Edition almost seems like that Nighthawk Edition they did just for the Japanese market, or the Year of the Horse Edition for the Chinese market. Both are cool, but paying a higher price for these just because they are a little extra special doesn't make financial sense to me. This also reminds me of the Lime Rock Edition for the E92 M3. I don't know anyone nowadays going out of their way to find and own a Lime Rock Edition because it was way more awesome than a regular E92 M3. Lol!

Now if BMW decided to make a 30th Year Anniversary Edition with the following changes then it would be highly worth it to seek owning one:

- Carbon Fiber Hood
- Carbon Fiber Trunk
- Carbon Fiber Roof
- Doors made of Lighter Aluminum alloy
- 640hp from the factory
- 560tq from the factory
- Different Trunk Spoiler
- Different and Lighter Forged Wheels than 343M's
- Different and sportier steering wheel
- Suspension lowered by another 10mm than the Comp Pack Springs
- Carbon Fiber Interior Trim
- And then all the little 30th Year Anniversary accents to make it different

So more of an E90 M3 CRT direction, than an E92 M3 Lime Rock direction. I'd be willing to pay $20k - $40k above the base price of a regular M5 if anything like the changes above were to happen.

Oh well at least they bumped up the horsepower and torque a little.

Yes! Thank you. So I'm not the only one who scared the instructor by the prodigious power and torque of the F10 M5. When I've told storys about how I accidentally scared my instructor on the track to other instructor friends of mine they immediately think it was because of some mistake I had made while driving. It was just the sheer acceleration of the M5 really.

Completely agree. This would be 30th Anniversary worthy IMO (or some good combination thereof) and make me consider switching out, even if it only came in one colour combo etc.

Amazing vehicle, but just cannot get on board with those wheels. Not my favorite choice when it comes to OEM wheels.

Updated With Official Press Release:

Woodcliff Lake, NJ... BMW announced today a limited run of 30 copies of the new 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 for 2015. The BMW M5 “30 Jahre M5” will be produced in a limited run of 300 examples worldwide, and 30 of them will be imported to the United States. With an output of 600hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, it will not only be the most powerful M5 ever sold but also the most powerful BMW production model ever. Starting at $138,275, including destination and handling, the first 29 copies of the 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 will be offered to the first 29 customers who reserve it by dialing the dedicated BMW Customer Relations hotline at 1:00pm EDT (10:00am PDT), on Wednesday, May 21, 2014. The 30th copy of the Edition will be retained by BMW of North America, LLC, and may be sold at a later date.

Purchasers of a 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 will be invited to a one-day M Driving School at The Thermal Club, a private motorsports facility in Palm Springs, CA.

BMW of North America will engage social media as a platform to reveal the phone number for the reservation hotline for US customers to order one of the 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5s. That number will be revealed on BMW of North America's Instagram channel (BMWUSA) over the five days leading up to May 21, beginning on Saturday, May 17. Each day, in addition to revealing portions of the call-in number, will offer fun facts about each of the successive five generations of BMW M5.

BMW of North America's Instagram channel provides exclusive Ultimate Driving Machine content to an active community of BMW super fans and automotive enthusiasts. This audience of nearly 60,000 followers has a clear passion for the M-brand, with M-specific content consistently receiving over 30% more engagement than average.

30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 offers increased performance
The 4.4 liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine from the M5 with Competition Package receives an additional 25 horsepower thanks to increased turbocharger pressure and engine control module enhancements. Elsewhere, the addition of a dedicated control module allows the Active M Differential to react sooner and improve the traction when exiting corners.

Capable of 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 3.7 seconds, the 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 adds an improved M-specific Servotronic function as well as an improved M Dynamic mode, prepared to use the full potential of the increased power and traction.

30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 includes unique styling and interior details
Featuring a Frozen Dark Silver Metallic exterior, part of the BMW Individual palette of hues, the 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 is also identified with Black Chrome “30 Jahre M5” (German for 30 years of the M5) badges, appearing on the kidney grill surrounds, the front fenders, door handles and twin dual exhaust pipes. The exterior of the 30th Anniversary Edition M5 is further complemented by 20 inch, bi-color M light-alloy wheels.

“30 Jahre M5” badges are also featured in the interior, with a 1/300 identification number integrated into the Aluminum Trace trim strip on the front passenger side of the cockpit.

A black Alcantara/Leather combination graces the M multifunctional seats which also include embroidered “30 Jahre M5” badges. The center console and the door panels are also covered in black Alcantara, while the headliner features Alcantara Anthracite.

Invitation to Exclusive BMW M Driving School at The Thermal Club
In order to further enhance the M experience with this vehicle, buyers of the 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 will be invited to an exclusive one-day track event and M driving school at The Thermal Club in Palm Springs, CA. The event will be held in the Fall of 2014 with more details to follow.

30th Anniversary M5

Interesting method of deciding who gets one of the 29 cars. Makes me think of frantically dialing a radio station for concert tickets or the "$1000 cash prize." Utilization of social media is interesting and seeing as I don't use such things I guess I would be out of luck if I wanted one lol. I like the car though and really want to see the paint job in person.

I think this M5 will be an instant classic, the F10 generation is coming to an end soon...
