We take this to mean that the M5's bumper will be more aggressive as in this image, rather than the M3-like bumper seen in most M5 photoshops.
The rear valence and diffuser on the new M5 is also said to be more sculptured than the M3-like bumper seen in M5 photoshops.

There's a bit of a disconnect here. I can't reconcile the statement above (which may be absolutely true) with the fact that the render cribs the M3 front bumper, the M3 18" OEM wheels, and the E90 M3's side gills. Quite the opposite, I thought that CAR Magazine's M5 render from last month featured the X5M/X6M's angular lines that the statement above refers to much more prominently than this one does.
