I'm surprised at the amount of hate towards the aluminum accents. I think they make the car look far more upscale than the M3, and it's not like they're done without taste.

I don't hate them, I just prefer something more aggressive than "upscale". I really don't like bling on a car, even if it's well done. To me, it either feminizes, or yuppifies a car.

Actually, after coming from an S5, I thought I would like the RS more than I do. It looks a bit disjointed to me. Not very good flow from certain angles.

To each their own. I don't think it's feminine or yuppie-like in any way. It lets you know it's an RS model, which always included aluminum accents (wing mirrors, grille slats). They just took it to another level. Low set aluminum accents are going to become the new trend, just as oversized black graphics (giant faux diffusers, fake massive brake ducts and grilles) have been dying down somewhat. Mercedes has adopted this with their new models, Audi is doing it with their new RS models, Land Rover is doing it with its new Evoque, and Porsche is starting to do it with their high-end Panamera and Cayenne models.

I think Mercedes, and customers of the Cayenne and Panamera are a certain demographic that may warm to aluminum bling.
But the badge, sound, and aggressive kit are enough for me to know it's an RS5.

If I were to buy this car, I'd definately replace the aluminum exterior trim wtih the optic black one instead. I'd repaint the mirrors to match the colour of the car cuz the silver mirrors looks stupid to me. |

Sepang Bronze is a very elegant color that can work on everything from a 7er to an M car. Nordic Gold seems too flamboyant and is too orange for me. If I could have any BMW (or sedan from any manufacturer while you're at it), it would be a Sepang Bronze M5
