So the 540i badge returns.. Wonder what the performance figures look like for the M550 models.

Unofficially around 4.0 seconds to 100 for M550i.

I'll take one in Diesel please :blowheart:

I think its a prank. BMW just stuck a 7 series side sill, and a different bumper on an F30.

Or maybe they hired ex-porsche designers.

Or maybe, this is just the most lazy, un-inspired new model design in the history of the company.

What the actual ****?

Excellent car, I like some of the tech. Good to see the park and fetch options. That would be cool in a parkade! :coolShake:

Is it just me or does the side profile reveal that the bonnet is just too big? That side fender gap between the wheel and the door is about 1/4 the size of the door.. the front wheels are too far forward? Hmm trying to get perspective. A side by side of the outgoing model might help!

 

[NtandoN]

I like it. Wonder what the price tag will be?

 

[ChefDJ]

I think it's gorgeous :blowheart:

5 series FTW.

 

[LukeHawk]

M badge on the fender!!!!!!!

Yes M550i 0-100 in 4.0 sec.

Maybe the new M5 might do 0-100 in 3.7 sec?

Yes M550i 0-100 in 4.0 sec.

Maybe the new M5 might do 0-100 in 3.7 sec?

It is freakin insane how fast "normal" cars have become. This is a large saloon that will stay with a Gallardo!

That is wow :blowheart:

 

[cOlDFuSiOn]

The more I look at it the more I like it!! Very tempting! Hmm :rollsmile:

 

[AdiS]

The new tech is really cool, I think the F10 has more beautiful proportions though.

 

[WIDEOPN-X5]

Probably going to be 15% more than the outgoing model..... I say that on the basis of the weakening exchange rate, the fact that 3 series production is being phased out so no offset for the import models and just because there's lot's of tech....

Very nice looking car though:=):

 

[Bavarian1]

I'm loving it :clapper:

 

[Straight six]

The tech...:tiptoe::tiptoe:

What was introduced in the 7...is now in the 5

What was in the S class is now in the E-Class.....
