F10 M5 Video and Photos - Spied Testing Manual Transmission and Ceramic Brakes ?

ThePoonJab · 05-03-2011, 08:23 PM

Bimmerpost F10 M5 coverage - http://www.bimmerpost.com/m5/f10m5/

Below are a few spied shots and a video of the same F10 M5 spotted in Southern California. The video emphasizes on the manual transmission (jerkiness during acceleration) and ceramic brakes (brake noise/squeal).

A member in my family is a Master Technician for BMW and was mentioning the way the car took off from a stop (jerking with the throttle) and had too large of a pause from shifting gears for a DCT. As for the brakes, ceramic brakes tend to squeak a lot more than standard brakes. Before we took the video, the driver of the M5 was really braking hard at stops and randomly while driving, I am told that really gets the brakes hot and squealing pretty badly. The squeaks from the brakes in the video are 100% not from standard brakes but pure racing carbon ceramic brakes.

nice vid thanks for posting

We ended chasing him for 30 min. but lost him because I wanted a side shot lol. Error on my part.

yuyue · 05-04-2011, 02:59 PM

turbo sound at 0:07, not bad

Definitive · 05-04-2011, 03:09 PM

YEp! 5th and Pleasant Valley! hehe. Ima start driving around right now. LOL

TheBingoBalls · 05-04-2011, 03:32 PM

Always great to see any visuals on the F10 M5 but the tail lights are still not doing for the M variant. For the base 5er, they work but for some reason they don't work for this car.

Xpander · 05-04-2011, 03:51 PM

In my opinion it looks alright. But that's about it...nothing spectacular.
For a car that will have 550+ hp it doesn't look nearly aggressive enough. Those large edgy side mirrors have to go. The rear fenders could be rolled a bit more. Rear lights could have a bit darker shade. I don' care for the reflectors below the rear lights.

I hope that the final product looks better than this.

rmani · 05-04-2011, 04:20 PM

wow a real manual. wouldn't that be something. i had given up on that option!

Yeah, they need a slight tint. Almost like what Mercedes did for the SL55/65's. They looked HOT.

Wolf · 05-04-2011, 05:27 PM

it is truly a sleeper... I like it

EDIT: the rear bumper seems to be like the concept M5 bumper which looked like shit

Keik E92 M3 · 05-04-2011, 05:36 PM

NICE!!

5soko · 05-04-2011, 06:49 PM

Those exaust tips look way too small and i hope that diffuser is agressive cuz the rear seems like its lacking agressiveness as comapred to the front of the car which looks amazing.

uhn2000 · 05-04-2011, 08:13 PM

Sweet to know there will be a manual option ... now lets just get the entire sweet package of looks and performance to make it ultimate.

Think we all had... me included :P

Jblack4083 · 05-04-2011, 09:18 PM

So a Manual option... Now the purists can stop whining lol

tlav17 · 05-04-2011, 09:55 PM

the rear of the car doesn't look aggressive at all. the front looks amazing though

ThePoonTang · 05-04-2011, 10:30 PM

Well i think the camo kind of impairs the look of it. If you look at a 550i with the msport package, its looks pretty aggresive...especially alpine white

Bimmer Nerd · 05-05-2011, 02:39 AM

HELL YEAAA

I see those guys around all the time (haven't seen the M5 yet tho), its fun chasing them cuz they try to lose you. About a year ago or so when the 7 series weren't even out, i saw the 760Li, B7 alpina and saw the 6 series couple of weeks ago along with the X1/X3 caravan.

Thanks for the vids/pics !

bavarian19 · 05-05-2011, 05:07 AM

Manual would be the only way I would buy it.

RC3 · 05-05-2011, 06:52 AM

nice capture. the chasing is quite exciting.
