this is almost the same thing as the 5 series

All "M" models look like their original design (just a few visual modifications to look different), the "M" Power engine is what matters.

"A wolf in sheep's clothing" is the motto BMW uses.

Radish?

And one more thing, isn't this BMW M5, the same as the 2005 model? We've known about it for months. :p

As far as I know it is. So this is nothing new at all really.

Oh, and it's got 507hp, not 500hp :p I love the car though, although I prefer BMWs new styling to their old. It's not so bland as before, not that I didn't like older BMWs.

Check it out? haha, information has been flowing about it for a while now. And yes, 507HP, 0-60 in 4.5s, 7speed SMG III Automatic Shifting (rumored to have 6 Speed manual for US alone). Some deliveries of the M5 have taken place in Europe, and some showrooms around the world.

The shark fin "antenna" on the back, I heard, was part of the Navigation Package. And yes, the sig/avatar is of the M5.

I've been a bit hit and miss with the styling on the new BMW's to be honest.. some i've liked (M3 and sportier 3 series versions) but most i've hated (X5 makes me sick, X3 is vile, etc etc) - glad to say I think this looks absolutely brutal. I did love the styling of the older M5, but this seems to be a nice version to supercede it.. not least because the engine in it is just off the wall! :)

Of course a new M5 (and a tuned new shape M3 CSL) feature in my Gran Turismo 4 garage :D

Absolutely beautiful vehicle, inside and out. Too bad dealerships are charging upwards of a $20k premium on the sticker price. What I love even more is the engine in this beast. While Mercede's AMG has to use superchargers to get lots of power from their engines, BMW's M can get 100hp/L with normal aspiration.

If price was no option, I'd still choose the current M3 based on engine sound :p I will miss the M3 when BMW stops making them in the next year or two :/

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
