Enough already of the constant BMW marketing campaign.
Can we move on to something else newsworthy now please.
Dude on BMW forum complaining about bmw forum promoting/marketing new bmw product has to be some of the wildest ish I've seen on this site. Bravo to finding a new low.....

It looks less of a reject in white but still doesn't pass QC for me.
As someone said here, like a hippo wearing a black thong. (HAD ME ROTFFL)

Only laziness would prevent me from buying the valve stem caps. Maybe they’ll have them in the Service area.

Sir, of course these improve performance, especially the sticker that says performance. Why else would it say it?

Most people know that each sticker is worth at least 5 HP

You're thinking of a regular sticker. This one says performance on it. The sportiness of the font alone is easily worth 20.

This is a BMW news/fan site, and there’s a new M5. For anyone who can’t get enough M5 news, this is the place. Why are you here?

Hard pass on everything but the rear trunk spoiler. The rest of the stuff looks like added-on Alibaba crap that is held on with tape. No item that adds another “level” to the original body line ever looks good…..it just looks added on and tacky AF regardless of what the price is.

Yeah I miss the days when M Perf stuff was actually about that, performance. Aero, free flowing exhaust, weighted shift knobs, light weighting…no more! But all good, I’ve accepted that this new generation of BMW design is for a different market…and that market is probably bigger and more lucrative for them…all good, just not for me anymore.

It's a new M5, of course it will be on the front page. Happens only once in 7 years. Again, unlike you, they're not here to hate BMWs.
