I thought everyone was pretty sure that they were no wider.

The M5 never gets wider fenders than a non-M 5 series. It's only the M3 that gets the wider fenders and quarter panels than a non-M 3 series. I am not really impressed with the F10. It's just not aggressive enough, IMO of course.

What I was referring to was the fenders and quarter panels. The M3's get the flared out quarter panels and front fenders always, with the exception of the E36 for whatever reason. The E30, E46, and E90/92/93 all got the flared panels/fenders.
The M5s may be wider but it never gets the flared fenders and quarters when they really should, especially with the F12 535/550i with M package sharing very similarly designed bumpers and wheels. Those who aren't enthusiasts could easily confuse the two. It shouldn't be that way.

Nope, E60 has wider front fender than E60 non-M, rears are the same. I'm almost 100% sure F10 M5 will have wider front fenders and the rear will be the same for both M and non-M.

I'm still not convinced..... Who has inside BMW M info/specs about the (front)fenders? I know the E60 M5 front fenders are a tad wider than a normal E60, so.

Still not convinced, do this: take engineering scale ruler or just normal ruler with small readings and measure the distance between furthest grill bars (or center of the projectors, or corner of headlights), then (on the same picture) measure furthest distance between fenders. Do the ratio for both pictures and you will see that ratio for M5 is higher, so it’s wider.
Assumptions: camera lens distortion should be pretty small, so it is neglectable. Last edited by Sedoy; 06-29-2011 at 03:37 PM.. |
