They are using the cover from the E60 M5s. No worries.

HAS ANYONE SEEN THE INTERIOR. the hump from the navigation just like in the e90 the interior doesnt match at all with the new 5 series gt but however i have a feeling it will have some similar things as the 7 series but totally different things from the 5gt

The reason I say it looks like it is naturally aspirated is because it looks like the cooling system is only a radiator up front and no visible intercooler.

Thoughts?
bingo... i noticed this too... EXCITING!!

The power dome on the m3 was put in place in order to allow the engineers to allow more air to get to the engine and thus improve torque

So if anything, that would mean that the new M5 is NA!!

The front bumper looks exactly like the m3. Powerdome?? If it's the V8 TT it should fit without it. I don't like powerdomes that don't have the excuse "the engine won't fit without it."

Maybe the interior has a powerdome as well That would explain the interior shots.

F10 M5?

The double hump on the dash is fake.
You can see in the first pic below, its a felt covering to fool us.
The second pic shows the true dash with one hump.

Actually it doesn't look "exactly like the m3." The bottom is rounded/curved, actually looks much better than the m3 front IMO.

lol, did anyone expect the front bumper to look any different?







The front bumper is always going to look similar, same with M3's. And I agree with the post above that it looks almost identical to the current M3's...

The powerdome on the M3 is definately NOT cosmetic or "just to allow more air". Trust me. I have an M3. The engine sticks up significantly and without the power dome, you would not be able to close the hood.
If you look at a profile of the car with the hood up, the engine actually looks like it tilts up a bit from the windshield to the front of the car (same shape as the powerdome)..and it fits in snugly with the powerdome.

+1
It looked as a shorter version of X5M/X6M bumper with exception of integrated front kidney grill.

Those gauges show a 7,000rpm redline, I guess that's +1 for it being twin turbo
