Exactly. No one ever did. That's never, ever, EVER been the point of the M5.

Looks like a big ugly lowered pig on wheels. The F90 series looks so much better. BMW’s new design team needs fired.

Damnit, I can't believe we lost the Cehrl7 market in Auburn, Indiana! We better pack it in, boys! ~BMW design team, probably.

Yep cupcake, no new M5 for me. I’ll stick with my X3M, F80 M3, E90 335i and wife’s X3M40i.

Their aren’t any Amish people in Auburn dum dum. They live in more rural cities in Indiana. If you are going to try to be a smartass, make sure you know what you are talking about.

There are non-rural cities in Indiana?

Whilst it’s not a high number, there are a few, I tracked mine at VIR when I owned my F90 and there’s an F90 CS owner that does the same. Very low numbers so we aren’t the target audience for sure.

For what its worth, there are many M3/M4 owners I’ve met that haven’t tracked their car but do enjoy some canyon driving.

Is it me or is the paint on the car looking poorly? A really bad photographer maybe?

I mean, this M5 looks very bad in comparison to some MBB cars found here on the forums (e.g., a bunch of X5s here). The other cars SHINE and have luster and the paint seems deep

This M5 here, looks like someone did a pretty underwhelming paint job or wrapped it in some really bad PPF. Orange peel screaming

Here's a YT clip of the exact same car. Seems to me the paint is bad also on film... Am I seeing wrong, or is this MBB somehow different from other models?

Saw some other photos from dealers - similar situation with orange peel.

Pardon my ignorance but doesn't this car have air suspension like the outgoing E63S does? I remember lowering that car with a simple module.
