The New M5 will definitely be an absolute beauty if it looks like any of these renderings.

The V10 will be missed. But I'm all for more efficiency (to a point).

2010 E63AMG is $90K+, E550 coupe is $67K, 18mpg and 23 mpg

... so I'm thinking loaded we're around $95K+.... and 30% better mileage makes, what... 23 mpg highway???

Yeah, who cares about mpg if you can afford it, STILL matters to me
the difference between 20 and 30 mpg if you drive 20k mi. a year (a lot) is about $1000 a year. with those cars then, this should have NO RELEVANCE to your decision. the insurance and taxes alone will likely vary more than that among all those cars.

Of course it is... It's the "ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE".
Leave it to BMW to take the Performance Sedan to continued new heights.

very true. when i am considering cars in this caliber, gas mileage isn't really that much in the picture. when i drive hard i can get low gas mileage in the m3, but meh, so what

Renderings? Am I missing something because those look like 100% real photos from an auto show. No?

Anyway, that does look stunning. BMW is back full force.

I miss the sound of the V10. I also miss the sound of the V8 in these videos, hopefully they uncork the exhaust a little more.

I think it's a great looking car except for those rims (referring to the pics from the first post).
