we came a bit early to a concert yesterday (sexy natasha thomas)... so we decided to roam around on the parking lots (stupid, i know).

but it turned out to be a good idea: we saw the new bmw m5! this purple-blue is a fabulous color...

I don't think it's a prototype or a test car, just one of the first E60 M5 that have just been built in order to "give" them to magazines or TV programs like TopGear ...

the first new M5 E60 will arrive to Sweden in november so the car is ready. At the moment BMW is trying out a 7 speed manuelgearbox, SMG is only available at the moment.

check out www.bmw.com, nice flash to watch.
