I think Viking posted the pics a while back, here's the vid if you haven't seen it. I can only dream about this one. I still like the E39 M5 the best, but this one is starting to grow on me.

what a sexy beast. Love the re-design I've seen on the roads (non-M of course) - along with the exhaust note, what more could you ask for? Have an X5 but this thing is my dream car.

Video needs more dash-cam action.

BMW finally revealed today the 2012 BMW M5 F10, releasing the full details of the new high performance sedan, together with a huge image gallery. AS previously announced, the 2012 BMW M5 is powered by a 4.4-litre V8 engine equipped with the M TwinPower Turbo package that includes the Twin Scroll Twin Turbo, a cross-bank exhaust manifold, direct petrol injection and VALVETRONIC fully variable valve control. BMW's official specifications say that the 2012 M5 develops 412 kW/560 hp between 6,000 rpm and 7,000 rpm and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) of torque from 1,500 rpm. Another point BMW wants to make is that the 2012 M5 does not have turbo lag.

Heck of a car for sure.

I really really like the new one, it's finally come together, looks wise. The V8 twin turbo was a good move too, in my opinion.

The only things I'd eliminate would be the Chrome on the grille and side air vent, but I'm pretty confident that'll be an option.

I think they've stated the twin-scroll already introduced was supposed to get rid of turbo lag... so we'll see. Seems like an on-going battle.

I think I'd be hard pressed to name a BMW I haven't at least *liked* if not *loved*.

The only caveat I ever have for their vehicles is that they are a bit pricey and I'm not calling that a negative but before even looking I knew I'd like this car a lot....but am cringing at what the REAL price tag might look like with options etc. on it.

The only negative I have to say about BMW is that their cheap lease options put a lot of low-class posers behind the wheel which sullies the brand a bit IMO.

P.S. Googled a bit and word on the street is >135,000....more if you want some extras. Um....yeah.....that's a bit of a price tag.

Be glad you're not in Norway Mathguy. It'll be priced north of $300k, easily.
