What makes people think that the brochure shot isnt the real car??? Not only does it not look like its photoshopped, but it appears to share the ebay bumper and its obviously not a 7 series or 5 GT. And if recent history repeats itself, the ebay bumper is the real thing (F01 7 series bumper also showed up on ebay and it turned out to be the real thing)
There is no doubt the leaked F10 5er bumper from Ebay would be the real thing following the F01 7er. The brochure shot was not accurate in many finer details. First of all, the hood bonnet joining headlight should be slightly curved up (similar to E60 but much less curved as the FEP shots we have seen); it was also mentioned several times by SCOTT before. The bumper and hood flame lines were more like a chop from 5er GT. More detail can be referred to this thread, which confirmed it's a very good chop though not the real thing.
