Upcoming 2011 BMW M5 spotted again during cold weather testing - M5POST

Mark · 01-19-2010, 08:29 AM

Time marches on and the F10 BMW M5 continues its cold weather testing ahead of its scheduled launch for 2011. To recap, this car is expected to utilize a turbo charged V8 engine derived from the motor used in the X5 and X6 M. Power outputs are still unknown but I would bet on it being higher then that of the X5/X6M. Other M5 Spy pictures can be seen here.

Don't worry guys. This car doesn't have the final bumper, but the general F10 bumper. We saw the final design here already: http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=303014

Best regards,

I' am curious to as why BMW chooses to continue to camo up the next gen M5. The F10 5 series has been released and the majority of the body panels have already been exposed. Granted, the front bumper, rear bumper, and side skirts will be different..

What gives?

I hope that it is way more aggressive in appearance. That car looks like a standard F10.

+1, I wish it had more to differentiate it from the regular F10.
