Unfortunately usually not to drive, unless an M School. But at the end of most days, you can ride in an M5 called a Hot Lap. I'd take even that in the F10.

A matte Sakhir would look dope... Just need to get rid of the chrome... I really hate the chrome on the door handles and side vents...completely black kidneys would be better too

Sakhir and Valencia are remarkably similar:

Here are some additional shots of the Sakhir Orange F10 M5. This car was not out when I took the Alpine White shots.Some of the shots are the same angle. The sun went in for a moment.... I wanted some shots in full sun and shady. Also a shot of the F10 M5 Manual Transmission Shifter. Thanks. PalBay

Ahhhhhh-frikin-mazing! Im 100% sure im doing this now!

Doctor///M · 06-17-2012, 04:37 PM

looks like it's being used with all that bug splatter on the front bumper! Is that an Efficient Dynamics sticker on the rear glass near the hoff-kink? psshhhttt...

Pentium · 06-17-2012, 05:56 PM

great photos, plus manual!! amazing!

joaopml · 06-17-2012, 06:39 PM

I just love this color... So fck awesome...

BMWPower06 · 06-17-2012, 11:52 PM

Yes! Thank god, I was so upset when they initially announced there would be no red for the F10 M5. I'm glad they brought this, I love this color!

Rolitto · 06-18-2012, 12:07 AM

Sakhir Orange is the best color.

Imola.ZHP · 06-18-2012, 12:53 AM

Love the brakes!!!

SL%% · 06-18-2012, 01:08 AM

the M5 is really, really nice already but I hope BMW will change those "common" looking calipers at the back because it really is making the car look cheap...

I don't think it would harm them to put at least a 2-pot caliper at the back. The F30 M-Sport brake looks even better at the rear.....

richb811 · 06-18-2012, 08:34 AM

Love the shots and great seeing that Manual in production trim! That car is going to be fun!

DrSpock · 06-18-2012, 03:31 PM

*GASP* It's a manual? Oh man, be still my heart.

4fsu2 · 06-19-2012, 09:42 AM

Should have gone with my gut feeling and ordered the Saklin Orange

karussell · 06-19-2012, 03:23 PM

I could be mistaken but the dark circles on the disk pictured is most likely a wear indicator for ceramics. i.e. when you see it, the thin laminate on the disk has worn off and time for new set of disks. i wonder how much track duty this car had before those showed up. I wouldn't want to be the ginny pig on ceramic brakes at over $16K for replacement.

Love the color though! going to be tough choice between this and the ubiquitous MCB.
