New M5, BMW Performance Center

[nando]

I saw a brand new 5 yesterday. At least, I think. It might have been a 7, or a 3. I don't know, they're all so damn huge.

Time to take a second out on the mortgage :)

Imagine how crazy everyone would think bmw was if...wait for it... they actually made one of their cars smaller in every dimension. The world might stop spinning.

I can imagine what those wheels would look like a week after my wife got that car. Ive just given up. Not that I could ever afford a car like that anyway..
She needs those go kart bumper things for curb protectors

I personally like the exterior styling of the new 5 over the E60s. It's still a large & heavy ride no matter how you slice it. Such is the trend with new cars these day :down:

meh super disappointed in this car. When compared to merc's, it sounds like shit.

So is it as big and heavy as a 7 series used to be? I hate to say it, but bmw is turning into a combo of mercedes, toyota and buick (1970s style).

I mean, the car looks pretty nice, but it doesn't scream "badass m5". It looks like a 750il with a nice mtech kit :(

Yep...it's like a MB S class.....

Give me e39 m5 over it anyday.

Pretty much. Next to an F10, the E39 practically looks like a 3-series.

With some better rubber, I would not criticize a thing on that car! I love the lines and everything! Even though it looks heavy, knowing bmw, it probably can still handle like a champ compared to any other car in its weight class!

now that you mention it, the parking spaces do look pretty small. i swear they have the majority of the 1M's that were sent to the states at this facility.

[Xat1cZ]

Are those parking spaces really short, or is the car super long?

Length - 4,910 mm (193.3 in)
