WCH · 05-19-2013, 12:45 PM

I wonder what Nutmeg looks like. A rust brown/cinnamon option would be nice.

crazy08 · 05-19-2013, 12:45 PM

In the video, I noticed that the driver was recording while on the track, including the G Force mapping. Is that new, as I've never heard anyone mention this capability before?

Wolf · 05-19-2013, 02:38 PM

does it get the revised steering like the comp package?

GreekMaverick · 05-19-2013, 05:37 PM

Good god....WTH are they thinking, I can't remember seeing a more UGLIER wheel....! These wheels don't belong on a 100K car.

NlckyBlack · 05-19-2013, 05:43 PM

wheels are ugly, but the rest is nice. big change for a mid life model change.

Why do you say that? If you consider that the LED headlamps are optional, the base car has no exterior changes at all except for the grille, and a very very slight difference in the tail light which I did not notice until wdimagineer pointed it out to me. The bodywork is identical to before, and the interior is identical except for the dial on the drive and 2 chrome strips next to the navigation.

This barely qualifies as an LCI in my opinion.

You can see on the F10 LCI site. It is a dark brown.

What is interesting is that the Nutmeg Individual interior also has contrast stitching. I wonder if they will make contrast stitching standard on all Individual interiors including Platinum?

Is the sunroof an option on the M5

Dude, I still can't see the differences in the Tail Lights. Can you help point them out to me?

Thanks Jason!

Wow, it's really not drastically different than what they did with the E60 Tail Lights. I'm a bit disappointed. I was expecting a totally different design. I'm not sure if I am going to retro-fit, they look too similar to me. Hmmmm....

vladberca · 05-20-2013, 04:32 PM

It's good to have more options to choose from

Did anyone notice that on the ordering guide that was released today, Pure Metal Silver and Frozen Blue Metallic aren't listed? Also, Amaro Brown is listed, despite not mentioned in the press release.

Yes I noticed. I was specifically looking because I was curious about whether Pure Metal Silver will be a standard or an Individual color.
