We bring you more photos of the F10 M5 in beautiful Monte Carlo Blue! Seen here is the expected production form of the F10 M5, with only front and rear details under any major camouflage. It is easy however to piece together what they look like from previous spy photos (posted below). The new M5 will be powered by a tweaked version of the S63 V8 twin turbo motor from the X5M/X6M, good for what we believe will be 585-600hp.

Also pictured are the best interior spy photos yet, showing the DCT transmission and full black panel dashboard.

The F10 M5 concept will bow at the 2011 Shanghai show next month (with an internet reveal sometime prior) and the production M5 is expected to premier at the 2011 Frankfurt IAA autoshow in September. Euro deliveries will begin in November 2011 and US deliveries begin in Spring 2012.

Awesome!

cs4444 · 03-16-2011, 04:07 PM

Does anyone have any idea what that metal bar/plate is underneath the rear differential?!!?

Diver · 03-16-2011, 04:07 PM

I want one! But. without the swirls.

scott@bmwhn · 03-16-2011, 04:11 PM

Winning!

as7920 · 03-16-2011, 04:16 PM

Is that a new seat? Cloth?

E60orBust · 03-16-2011, 04:19 PM

Wonder if it is the stock DCT or a beefed up DCT.

If its stock and the car puts out 600HP, that really lets you know how much the M3 DCT can safely take.

iPhil · 03-16-2011, 04:19 PM

Great pictures!!!

pampam · 03-16-2011, 04:19 PM

thoe brake discs are BIG.

NavM · 03-16-2011, 04:29 PM

Are those the production wheels? I am not crazy about them.

Having driven an X5M recently and getting up well into triple digit speeds with an auto transmission ( one of the best and fast shifting autos out there), I can only imagine how good this M5 is going to be with even more horsepower/torque, a lot less weight and 7-speed DCT transmission. Looking forward to it.

love the wheels! and giant brakes that can be cooled with the likely air ducts!

isn't the plate the rear differential cooler?

That's perforated leather for the seat ventilation.

Sick car, color is a big yuck for me.

red.66mustang · 03-16-2011, 05:09 PM

Apparently this is the north american model:

1) MPH Speedo
2) No rear foglight switch
3) Red turnsignals instead of amber

Sedan_Clan · 03-16-2011, 05:12 PM

I love MCB. I can't wait to see the final reveal with the production wheels, etc.

I agree -- not a fan of the LMB on this car.

Design is pretty tame which surprises me. A Z4 looks swoopier/sportier

The rims suck too. Brake dust nightmare cleaning

04S · 03-16-2011, 05:22 PM

They have two blacked out buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Presumably one is the M button. Wonder what the other is ?

WhoU4 · 03-16-2011, 05:25 PM

Nice Looking Ride.... Future Ring Taxi? Bet

They're likely both M buttons as earlier prototypes had these labeled as M1 and M2.
