Doesnt seem all that new looking to me over the previous. The engine change is nice, and I do like dual clutches. Overall I like it, but wouldnt give up my x5m for it.

I heard they are also doing an M version with AWD as an option too.

Wouldnt surprise me at all considering last night at the benz dealer the sales rep mentioned the CLS63 will have an 4matic version coming very soon.

People will scream bloody murder at AWD on that car but I love it if true.

 

The X5M and X6M are great cars, that torque-vectoring thing really works well...would be very impressive in a lighter sedan like the M5.

I think it will be an awesome car to modify and easy too with the twin turbo motor. this car with 700 hp would be pretty amazing.

According to some, BMW is going to follow MB down the path of factory performance upgrades. Almost everyone selects them on the AMGs....so I wouldn't be surprised to see a stock M5 with 600HP, upgraded brakes and aesthetics for 5-10K. Mercedes has been making serious coin off of the packages and BMW has taken notice.
