Updated: F10 M5 Safety Car Makes World Debut at Indy MotoGP BMW M Experience
BIMMERPOST NEWS Updated: F10 M5 Safety Car Makes World Debut at Indy MotoGP BMW M Experience The Indianapolis MotoGP race takes places this weekend and BMW is putting on a BMW M Experience for a lucky group of 50 M enthusiasts who have signed up for the event, which starts today and ends Sunday. Besides the special access to the MotoGP race and paddocks, BMW will be providing these enthusiasts with hot laps in M safety cars driven by M school instructors, as well as a personal presentation of the F10 M5 sedan by M executives. They will also get the world's first look at the F10 M5 safety car, the first pics of which we've posted below. We'll have full details on the F10 M5 safety car soon, but what know so far is that it features an Akropovic lightweight titanium race exhaust, high performance coilover suspension, gloss black 20" wheels, front spoiler lip, trunk spoiler, Recaro pole position bucket seats (on power seat rails), race brake pads. It also features black (either matte or gloss) side gill trim and kidney grilles, dispensing with the factory chrome versions for a sportier look. Our guess is that both parts will be available as part of the catalog of F10 M5 BMW Performance Parts. Watch for more details/media on the F10 M5 (including safety car) and our coverage of the BMW M Experience @ Indy MotoGP throughout the weekend! *Click on images for hi-res versions Saturday 8/27/11 UPDATE: We've updated with even more photos of the F10 M5 safety car, official safety car of the MotoGP, which is making its debut this weekend to M VIP at the Indianapolis MotoGP race. The new photos feature the M5 safety car posing on the race track, as well as some pics from the police escort it received from the track to downtown Indianapolis. It drew quite a crowd in front of the hotel as you can see! And some bonus 1M Safety Car pics: Sunday 8/28/11 UPDATE: Our coverage of M cars from this weekend's BMW M Experience at the Indianapolis MotoGP continues with the first exhaust clips of the F10 M5 safety car showing off its Akropovic exhaust system, the production F10 M5, and some more 1M safety car pics. The videos below were taken during the M5 safety car's police escorted drive from the race track to downtown Indianapolis, where it was shown off to BMW M Experience VIPs and passerbys. |

Ha. I knew it was only a matter of time before we saw black side gills for the F10 M5. I didn't expect it to come directly from the factory, though.

M5 + Akra = winning.
Very good marketing Btw. When I heard the SLS AMG pace car at the F1 Singapore GP, I almost switched to Benz. The sound was just insane.
