I knew it will look like the new 7 series. Kidneys are huge! Cars nose is butt ugly and that styling wont last for long. I knew it! I knew it will look like the new 7 series. Kidneys are huge!

Headlights remind me 3-serie's headlights. Car is lower than rendering suggested eighter and it gives it more agressive appearance. Can't wait to see it fully unveiled. I don't worry about mass of M5. Brand new E-class gained mass when comparing it with previous model, so E63AMG will be fatter eighter. Audi A6 is really fat and RS6's weight is closer to X6M weight than that of recent M5. One thing we can be sure - M5 will be lighter that X6M and with its twinturbo 4.4 V8 plus new 8-speed gear-box it will provide a way better performance than X6M. According to some rumors, new M5 will have similar mass to present model, so it will be around 300kg lighter than X6M. Hence, the mass difference will be huge. I will have enough for both E-class and RS6. I wonder whether M5 will get carbon roof. Maybe wieght reduction is not impressive, but influence on handling is. And what about KERS in upcoming M5? Does someone have any plausible infos about it? Looks different than renderings posted earlier suggested. Headlights remind me 3-serie’s headlights.

And, of course, it needs z4 and 5gt interior design and quality, but I'm sure this will not be a problem :) @Stoli

Head lights are no secret any more, they are so obvious :-) still the tail lights have some mistery. all the renderings so far were so SO wrong. flame surfacing is not gone also, in contrary the hood will be very dinamic. i'm just hoping BMW will put x drive on 535d and there will be no car to compare. The best overall vehicle is arriving and i'm looking forward to buy one :-) Very very interesting.
