But guys in the US like to keep there pride and buy sedans and coupes rather than a wagon. the M3 touring might get some buyers but the M5 is too large and doesnt look that nice when it comes to racing. What would realy suprise me is a 600hp honda minivan kicking a lambos butt. Now that would be something.

One reason I’ve come to love station wagons, SUVs, vans and trucks. “Man, look at that slow grandma car that looks all pimped out, lets race it… OH GOD HE’S FAST AS #$%^.” It takes people by surprise and it’s great.

I’d really love to have an M3 or M5 touring simply because nobody expects that family grocery getter to have 400HP plus.

No M5 Touring in the US. I doubt anyone here would buy it. Station Wagons left the US after the 80s and in place are the slow and boring Minivans, Instead you should make a 5GTM. a crossover making 1/4 mile in 11 seconds would sell very well.

Why did they decide to go with such a conservative redesign rather than pushing the envelope a little?

Viper please wait till the results from Car and driver , Motor trend and all that before you make any of the Bias comments. E class is very good but we don’t know much about the new 5. I hope the 5xx isnt gona have the spinning Transmission thing like the E class and the new Jags.

0-60 Time is probably 4.8 to 5.2 seconds for 550i. 535i about the same as the E60 535i. I hope the F10 M5 can defeat the Cadillac CTS-V 3.9 seconds

any chance? i swear i would buy one as soon as i could, but for f10 i´ll wait price to get low or interpetations from tuners…it just didn´t caused my heath beat faster or gave me tinglings…it looks like bmw but does not feel like one…at least for me…

Out of our control, the X1 designer wasn’t present anymore, only the product manager.
