I like the F12 wheel, especially the paddles which are unique and not out of a 328 parts bin.

Hoping the double slat kidneys are plug and play for 2013 M5.

Aren't the paddles quite similar to this 320i M-Sport (not exactly the same)?

And, it seems they have taken the LCI away from the websites now. At least I can't get LCI images on either bmw.de or bmw.co.uk...

The new steering wheel is a big improvement IMO - looks much sportier.

The 12-13 M5 has paddles like a 3 series.

The 14 M5 has paddles like the M6

Is the deck spoiler an option in Europe, as opposed to an option delete in the US?

What happened to the exterior changes, Jason? The front and rear bumpers, front and rear lights, and the mirrors look to be unchanged. Is the M5 no longer taking the F10 LCI updates?

Could be a graphics error. However it does have the new grille.

No we covered this before nothing on the front of the M5 is changing because like any other M facelift the aeropacket is designed for the most optimum of cooling and airflow. To do so would mean altering the cars profile which would mean significant cost in developing a new aeropacket.

Interesting. Thanks for the update, Scott. What about the taillights? Are they just not rendered properly in the preview, or are the changes really that subtle?

Helps give the screen more of the 'stand up' look as seen on the 6er.

the leather on our dash is nappa leather?

doesnt feel like it to me, mine feels hard and kind of rough.

h4nh · 05-15-2013, 12:07 PM

Looks the same.. on the bright side, it looks like I'll be keeping my 2013 for a few more years

stealth.pilot · 05-15-2013, 06:24 PM

It is Nappa. Your leather must be dry. It should be soft. Dash will still be hard because the dash isn't padded, but the leather itself should be smooth and soft

mainly · 05-15-2013, 07:22 PM

No it feels like vinyl. It's the way it was since the day i bought the car.

I thought I read on here that they used a different type of leather for the dash. For example the leather on the dash is not the same as what's on the tops of the doors. That leather is nice and soft. But the dash leather has an almost sandpaper like texture to it.
