"BMW also intends to offer the M5 in a station wagon version—unlikely for U.S. sale, however—that’s rumored for 2005."

V10 and the 500-550bhp is still speculation. I haven't seen/heard it to be confirmed officially. Still looks hideous, despite the rumoured engine and power outputs. :mad:

Those rear lights look like... a Japanese-manufactured car. :bunny2: Hundayi (spelling) or something. But the bonnet looks long and nice...

[AudiTumbo]

Yeah, you are right about the rear lights...but the most horrible thing on it are the front lights! The current M5/5-series are so much nicer!

I think that picture is edited/enhanced in some way.

In any case the Z4 didn't look nice either on photos, but in reality it's a lot better. Don't underestimate BMW, I am sure the new 5-series will be very nice. Their new progressive steering is very innovative for instance.

I am sure that it is full of techinal goodies. But I don't think I will ever like the new look. About Z4, I didn't know if to laugh or to cry, when I saw it IRL... really... even worse then on pics :bang:

Erik, or do you prefer RS6 now? . Now that you say it, to me it doesn't make sense that they testdrive the new M5 without any masking on it. Is it maybe a eager journalist who edited the picture he took to give it a more sensational twist?

I don't know what bmw is doing with their styling... they used to make quite pretty cars but now..... put a kia badge on the new 5
and I wouldn't be suprised.

ah well... we'll get used I think

Hi,

I thought about the same,about the styling but after i have seen one IRL my decision turns.I think the front lights look ugly but the whole car looks "o.k".Last weekend as i was at the Nürburgring i saw the blue camouflaged M5 and it looks good and sounds good.

Bye,

That car is Korean, not Japanese.

[Erik]

I could live with this car I think...

Hi,

i think the camouflaged headlights look better than the original headlights.I´ve seen this one at the Nürburgring and it looks good.

Ps: If i see the car this weekend i took some detail pics.

bye,
