Could be Carbon Black as this is an Msport only color now.

I think it looks fabulous and like a true heir to the e39 Sport. That's in no small part due to its rims which echo the sport rims on that very ancestor and which (for me) are the single best looking OEM rims to ever come on a Bimmer (including their use on 7 series sport). I'm not worried about the ride height as that can easily be remedied.

I also think you will see BMW introduce a trim line between a 535/550 sport and a full blown M5 (not unlike the 335is) that will be more aggressively styled and fit sportier tastes. No info for that by the way, just a gut feeling.

But for me, this is the one I've been waiting for and it just made the decision between two cars (SUV/Porsche) and one ALOT harder.

Well done BMW. Well done indeed.

Maybe it's higher because it's an xi

uhn2000 · 05-27-2010, 10:56 PM

I would get this over an M5 simply based on the fact that it will look great and have plenty of performance for our Ontario patrolled streets.

Not sure what everyone else is seeing but those wheels are boring as hell. BMW has really fallen off in this department over the last few years.

Frosty · 05-28-2010, 02:47 AM

..those wheels have both major and minor labia.... ~Frost

Very good point!

Or its could have the VDC option fitted so it would be higher!

McGregor · 05-28-2010, 03:31 AM

this is it

Zunkung · 05-28-2010, 10:36 AM

Still can't realli talk much abut it for me. However, i still think that it still has a potential of being a good lookin car. However, again, it is sitting too high. I would love it more wh it can get a little less in height.

So far, so good thou. : )

carl_d · 05-28-2010, 01:06 PM

Three pics comparing M5, M-Sport and standard...

Sealobo · 05-28-2010, 01:39 PM

hm... dont' like those wheels. They're not ugly, but i don't see how they're better than some of the optional ones.

snkpkp · 05-28-2010, 07:29 PM

Looks like a hit and miss with most ppl, I am
not sure until I see one in final version

somewhat agree, i will also reserve final judgement for when all that camo is off the car. and i also agree with what another poster said, the e60 m sport package looks a lot more aggressive

bm323 · 05-31-2010, 05:16 AM

Now, these M5 wheels look great

the front and rear rims are the same but they look different when on the move?

Carbon Black for sure. I have an 08 E60 550 in Carbon Black and I know that color quite well. It is a great color. I like it a lot.

scottz5 · 06-04-2010, 07:18 AM

I like it and wish I could wait but I need a car asap. I bet it won't make it to the states untill 2013 model year anyway.
