Mr. Sibal has really gotten a knack for getting photoshops about future BMWs correct. This is not the first time a potential M5 has been rendered, but this one is integrates a few features which the rumormill has been pointing to as likely to appear on the M6.

Namely, the highly angular quadrilateral brake vents and the integrated air curtain, which was first introduced on the 1M and may become standard fare for M models. Moving on from the front end, the front fender and door get M treatment that is more evolution of the basic 1M elements.

Comparing to recent spyphotos, the wheels seem to be 100% accurate, as is the stance and overall appearance of the car.

The next M6 is expected to make its appearance at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2012 and will likely share engines with the upcoming F10 BMW M5, that is a twin turbocharged 8-cylinder engine used in the X5M but uprated some to achieve 585-600hp.
