Default BMW E60 M5, the first media pics!

They are pretty big and damn NICE!

















edit - since 1900+ was to big for out gallery, I resized and changed a bit the light and warmness of the pics.. so if by any change you would like them 1600 pixels wide, and for reference in case the ones at imageshack will go offline:

good question oantob, i think your right about the turn light.
Q: Is it just a shadow, or is the kit underneath the license plate (front spoiler) a darker colour than the rest of the car? it looks that way in a few shots - i know it's not c/f, but can't help thinking about the m3 csl's use of carbon fiber on the front splitters.
I love the style of this car, bangle is my homeboy.

The bumper seems a single piece, I see the shadow you mean, but no junctions, so it should be just a shadow I guess. And if it would be carbon, they wouldn't paint it everybody love barecarbon bits here and there

Thanks for the pics, although I can't say I like the car all that much! I love the regular 5-series, so I don't really understand why...

according to my source, this car has a electronic limited top speed of 155 mph... but if you could remove this thing (maybe a chip) this baby could go up to 205 mph (around 330 km/h) :shock:
and to hit 100km/h from 0 takes only staggering 4.7 secs 8)
and if you see this pics it shows how beautiful the interior is with the new SMG that is improved by 20% more faster shifting

WOW. that interior is perfect. so logical and beautiful and.... well, wow!
Perhaps its just that 9500rpm redline

Agree 110% on the rims PATo, they're 19's right? how much rubber is under the rear on this thing!!

Now all i want is to hear the engine of her..

Thanks a bunch!
It's beautiful...

The iDrive sucks at first, but once you get used to it, it becomes pretty impressive. It's just...a new gadget... *shrug*
