Also those exhaust tips look mighty anemic. Needs an aftermarket exhaust.
Truly what do we know about the brakes? The rotor and calipers look not really different from the current E60 M5.
Just because the caliper maybe painted?
Do we know they are 6 piston / 4 piston calipers?

I've always respected the M5, but I've never really wanted one...until now.

I love BMW's in blue.

They have done a better job with this one than the new 1 series.

IMO they nailed it with this one! reminds me how "right" the E39 M5 looked when it first came out.

Can't think of a better m5. I didn't like the v10 high rev engine in a saloon car. V8 TT is the right engine for it.
And I'm glad BMW doesn't exceed the 580 HP from the current RS6, because the manufacturers should go for lightweight and not just increasing HP. good job BMW.
