Facelift M5

UltimateBMW · 11-27-2007, 11:17 AM

I've heard about it. I tried to look up pre/post pictures of the M5 last night to see the difference and I didn't really notice any huge change between the pictures I saw. The pictures could of been mis-labeled so if anyone has a good before and after shot of the M5 they could post up and maybe make a few notes on the changes I'd be much obliged.

The only exterior difference that i know of are the new rear lights (they have new style "spirals" inside - especially noticeable when lights are switched on). There are also a few minor changes inside like new door handles - you won't actually notice them unless you've driven (ot at least sat in) both versions of the car.

Other than that, the ordinary 5-series has got a new transmission and front bumper, but these are unchanged on the M5...

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I want your car...now. Just sat in a demo S5 (meteor gray with red/CF interior

). Nice car, but was kinda not used to the stick; couldn't locate 2nd and 4th very well.

Anyways, back to the topic, the only differences include headlights (clear bulbs, LED gold "eye brow"), taillights (rising sun-styled LED bars), and different interior. Other than that it's more of the same goodness.

and I believe the location of the amber side markers has also changed. But I may be wrong on that.

No face lift can save the 5 series...it is still one UGLYMOTHERFUCKER car..........

I actually quite like the 5. I used to have a 530i and it was a great car. My only gripe with the new look is the LED turn signals which now flash red instead of amber. I'm still not used to seeing a clear turn signal flash red, I don't know why.

If it really looked like that.. then you would never see one and live to tell how bad you thought it was.

You should hang yourself if you think the 5 series does not look gorgeous.

Please just do all of us the favor.
