F10 M5 (w/ 6-speed manual) Rolls Into NJ Cars and Coffee. US Release in August

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I thought I was halucinating this morning when the new beast rolled up to very well attended meet in Chatham this morning. I guess everyone was getting out before the snow arrives.

Here it is, 1 of 2 F10 M5s in the country, driven by the US M division product planner. Nothing new to add to the discussions here, except that I want one!

He also affirmed that the release date will be around August, I forget what the reason stated was, but it does have something to do with regulatory approvals etc. Additionally, with the US making up almost 50% of world M5 sales, the factory has to be in full swing and the kinks worked out - given the intolerable nature of the US customer when it comes to faults..

There were also 2 1Ms there, the orange one being the original Daytona pace car.

Lastly, we had all but the E28 M5 represented, but the E39 left before we got to line them up.

That was a fantastic event. I've never seen so much car porn in a suburban parking lot!

It was great chatting with you - see you down the road!

And to you

The penny dropped when I saw your 2011 X3 listed here and I remembered your column this month - the drive to Hilton Head.

nice...thanks for sharing What'd it look like in person? I'm still not 100% convinced of the styling as of yet, but many that have "seen" it say that the pics don't do it justice along with the CLS63 and the Panamera GTS, this is on my short list of the next car I get once this lease is up

Love the fact that it's a 6speed. Hate the fact that it looks older than the car it replaces. I never thought it did until i saw that pic that has them side by side.

The new M5 is proof enough for me that M Cars still have a bright future, in spite of "tinkering with the formula".

They should profile Matt Russell on Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe!

The only disappointing bodily feature to me are the side vents. Everything else looks nicer on the F10 than E60

What I do love about the new body is that it doesnt make the E60 look outdated. Hell even a clean LCI E39 doesnt look outdated. Thats one thing about BMW styling, it just lasts. That said, I still prefer the in your face look of the E60 M5. The V10 was one of a kind and made it a truly special car, in fact I still itch to pick one up. The new car is amazing and very fast, but there's no denying its predecessor was and still is serious force to be reckoned with. . . .especially in the top end
