Interior looks great… love the red.

Not sure yet how I feel about the exterior design. However, I agree with sentiment from some that the 5 series/x5 are the best looking cars in the lineup right now…

It’s just your phone not even close

It’s more earthtone in color

It’s not normal to see it

Unless it’s ordered

You are trolling unless you say: I love this car. It's the best BMW ever made
Those 9 BMWs are already sold to you... This is the new one and new business

Agree with you and got your point but at the same time we have to admit we are not here to admire BMW for every single design. I mean many people including you and myself have appreciated BMW all over this forum for designing many cars (like F9x) so we must be able to share our thoughts about the car we don't like the design or specs.

I'm ambivalent about the exterior aside from the back, which is too busy. To me, the elephant in the room is actually that absolutely god awful eyesore IT the clown red interior. It's so jarring and bright. . . REDRUM.

The two tone color pattern is a step down from every BMW on the market, and the color choice really exacerbates the mediocre design.

I still don't like the exterior at all. Like a game that has not rendered yet, but I have a feeling that it may grow on me. The interior is nice though

I don’t think these pics capture Grigio well as they all seem to be overcast sky. Check out the official Grigio thread for better idea of the color if you haven’t seen it

Yeah, I think you’re right

It reminds me of a darker Brooklyn Grey

Pics 13 and 18 are the closest resemblance to GT. I’ve owned it back in 2017. It looks better in person however it hides lines for some reason in certain lighting. I wouldnt buy it again b/c it’s played but it really does contrast well with bright colors like red Brembos for example. It’s a milky gray blue purple.

All of the pics that BMW took are horrible. Made all of the colors flat and dull.

As for the rear Ferrari did it first

This is a big and ugly fat pig with nothing sporty looking!

Good designs bring out 'Wow" not "I think I am starting to like it" or "I think I am getting used to it" or even better "It's better in person"

WTH guys!

Everybody has an opinion, but what blows my mind is why people even bother posting when they don’t like something

Looks great in this color. Not sure if worth the “individual” tax

But best looking pics so far

If you repeat it under every M5 thread, it becomes trolling and spamming.

Now if cehrl7 was being offensive or inappropriate I understand why his comment was deleted. However, if just sharing a negative opinion or thought it frankly hurts the forum to censor these people.
It’s just a waste of time for everyone else. Saying how much you dislike something over and over that WILL NOT CHANGE is just noise. BMW heard you and dismisses your opinion, as do many others. I for one am glad they have. The MBMWGA crowd gets so boring on this forum…

grigio telesto is a nice grey, it became very popular on the F8X platform, I was one of the first ones to order it. Not sure if I’m gonna like this M5, would have to wait until I see it in person. That weight turns me off.

May be he is just bitterly disappointed in the new design and had been looking forward to the reveal for last couple of years, thinking it could be his next purchase? Ever thought of that?

If you call it beautiful and very nice on every thread (even when it is not), that wouldn't be spamming or trolling, right? You are just trying to justify a purchase or a potential purchase? Good

These are just forums full of opinions. Stick to your own and don't get offended. It's all fun

Great color but?

Grigio Telesto looks really good, but Storm Bay Grey is available non individual and I thinks its kinda close ???

How close in shade is Storm Bay to Grigio - would like to see a comparison

My current iX is Storm Bay. Hard to tell with pics vs. in-person, but this GT looks like it's several shades darker. What's hardest to tell on a computer, though, is the metallic undertones, though, which I think is where the real comparison needs to take place.
