    Default 2018 bmw m5

    Is there a thread on this already?

    Officially released today. I liked the F10, but not enough to buy one. I wonder how this will stack up against the E63. This looks really good, and the interior looks awesome.

    If they had the Touring version coming to Canada, I think I'd for sure pull the trigger...but with the kids getting a bit older, I'm not sure a wagon is as important as it used to be for me.

    looks almost identical to my F15 interior. I love it.

    That interior, yuck, give me black please. Or tan. Design wise it looks good. Not a fan of the huge infotainment display but that's inescapable these days.

    Exterior looks excellent, I like the new fender vents/go-faster grooves vs. the F10's. Wheels aren't as cool as the outgoing F10's split 5 spokes.

    Sad to see the man pedal retired, I expect F10 manual prices to slowly rise over the years like E60 manuals have (20k for SMG vs 40+ for 6MT). For your average driver this doesn't matter. All about those magazine numbers. I love that they give you a fun mode for RWD and DSC off.

    Question is: Would you rather have this, or a Hellcat Charger and 80k to play with? (EDIT: Or 2 Hellcat Chargers? )

    A little to late to the party IMO. Mechanically it's caught up to the E63S, but the interior and exterior is 1/2 to 1 generation behind. BMW needs to push their designs quicker if they want to regain the luxury crown from MB. The Z4 concept is a step in the right direction, but this just feels old before it's even released.

    I like it, but dont know if i like it enough to upgrade right away.

    I like the interior and actually prefers it over the MB. I really hate the two huge screens on the new E63. personally I like the old design better.

    If they come up with a Touring wagon, im sold!

    It feels like a mid-generation F10 facelift rather than a whole new car. All the previous M5 generations were so different from their predecessor.

    Don't hold your breath, we don't even get the non-M 5 series touring.

    Finally xdrive. Hopefully they bring that on the M3 and M6...if so I will probably be getting back into a M car in a year or so.

    X Drive now makes the car relevant to our market.

    Still far to conservative in design language though.

    Well if you like old designs, then this new M5 with a 2011 era 3 series interior is perfect haha.

    I had very high hopes for this car. Performance looks great but I would be choosing the RS7 performance over this.

    Looks alright, not a fan of BMWs styling as of late on most vehicles, but can't argue the performance.

    Still hankering for a E39 M5.

    This.
    TRUE, i really cant stand the double screen thats all lol. There's also no more DCT in this car, which I'm not sure how i feel. Being that it's more an evolution of the current car I'm kind of disappointed having had the last two gen M5s

    I guess in a way it's good, since it's hard to tell my current F10 apart from the new G30.

    Interesting comparison. I found the rs7 to be more Autobahn burner... But a little Audi like in the turns

    I think you can blame slushbox technology for getting too damn good

    Then again, if I ordered an M5 now, I might get it before the E63s orders actually arrive. lol
