I generally hate orange cars, but I love this. The white is boring. If I actually took trips, I would buy it. I don’t care about weight. It wouldn’t be a track car.

I've been wondering if values will increase as these will become legal to import into the U.S. soon. I know I'd like to bring one over (and then manual-swap it)...

Like

Other than the sheer mass, this M5 looks awesome and has a fierce menacing presence . Think they will sell every single one fast

Without those looks far better. And whose idea was to put on cheap stickers on the side?

Love the front end. It’s got that remove-thyself-from-the-speed-lane look.

The PHEV power train had nothing to do with gaining power, and everything to do with meeting EU regulations.

Do people seriously think they added 1000lbs of weight because they wanted to?

Yes I understand that TU2 is because of emission standards. But as BMW ups their boost pressures to atomize fuel more and burn more efficiently that also give tuners new opportunities. With port in addition to direct injection, that means you can up to fuel. I agree, the weight penalty is getting absurd.

This thing is gorgeous, the wagon looks much better than the sedan.
