Count me as one of the people who strongly believes that the F10 5-Series comes out of the box with a beautifully sculpted look. The M-Sport and new M5 of course take that sculpted look to the next level.

Now, i'm not against body kits by any stretch, but in my opinion, this new concept from Prior Design takes things in the wrong direction. Their designs rests on the use of the E90/E92 M3 center grill design grafted onto the F10 5-Series bumper with a row of horizontal LED foglamps along the top part of the brake ducts. The front fenders have been modified with designs lifted straight from the 1M, including an M-like bar that crosses the design crease. Larger wheels and a blacked out roof complete the look. In my opinion, this mishmash of M design cues cluttered together gives a definitively gaudy look to the otherwise tasteful F10 5-Series body.

Full details on this vehicle are said to be coming out in a few weeks, and their is word that they will have some sort of under the hood tuning to back up the looks.

This is all obviously subjective, so what do you guys think of it??
