Unofficial rendering of the upcoming M5

I really like it; seems like a toned-down E60. Also, this is how to do big grilles! Not a huge fan of the sloping hatch-like rear though....

dutchm2 · 09-16-2022, 01:58 PM

a bit odd .....

dizz81 · 09-16-2022, 02:53 PM

That's the EV charge door

I think it looks pretty good, agreed about the grill. There are ways to increase frontal airflow without going the route of the M3/M4.

Plug-in hybrid maybe? Electric only seems a little soon for the M5, but who knows.

Same, not a fan of the gran coupe look.

Agree, I see a lot of E60 vibes - especially in the front end. Absolutely LOVED my E60, this new 5er is shaping up to be a winner too.

allinon72 · 09-17-2022, 04:03 PM

Front end needs to be more menacing.

Alvinmark12 · 09-17-2022, 04:51 PM

Needs M3 front so much better. This looks so outdated

BimmerMat135 · 09-17-2022, 06:22 PM

I think it need slightly larger head lights but the rest is just fine.

the world needs LESS of the current M3 front end—it's truly awful.

Rokoz · 09-18-2022, 08:02 AM

After the ugly stuff they've put out lately, I'll take it all day

That is god awful....

The side-view reminds me of a Panamera. It's fine, but it is a copy.
The rear-end looks like the boy racer 2-series.
The front end is incredibly uninspiring.... thankfully the grilles are normal sized, but this time they designed to butcher the headlights, bumper, & hood. Not to mention, why is there a football field of height between the front jacking point and the start of the A-pillar?

Hey, atleast this prepares me for the actual leak, which *might* look marginally better

Burrcold · 09-18-2022, 07:41 PM

Looks like a Subaru.
