2012 BMW F10 M5 spotted with no camo?

2012 BMW F10 M5 spied 01.11.2010 - possible

5-Series spied sporting M-like features - next-generation F10 M5 is expected to come with a 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8

Here's a spy shot of a possible BMW F10 M5 prototype.

We say possible because the photo may just be of a 5-Series fitted with an M-Sport package and we cannot see the front fascia of the car in this single photo.

Still, there is a resemblance to some camouflaged F10 M5 prototypes we've spotted testing before, features like the bulkier fenders (than on the standard 5-Series) and the car is sporting a quad-exhaust.

Under the hood of the upcoming F10 M5 will be a 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8 said to produce 592 bhp (441 kW / 600 PS). 0 to 100 km/h will take a mere 4.4 seconds.

The 2012 BMW F10 M5 is expected to debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.

No diffuser? but then I love how discrete it's, you can hardly see it's a M5 at all

i'm sure it's a 535 or 550i with M-Sport package and aftermarket quad exhaust

Looks very subtle. I hope it is just a normal M-sport 5er with an aftermarket exhaust kit, as Hero said.

C'mon BMW, go back to revvy NA engines for the M cars! I would hate to see every engine BMW makes have a turbo.

I've seen a spy shot where a tarp covering an un-camo'd M5 was blown up by the wind. There was a [ shape (at 90degrees clockwise) where a diffuser would be. I reckon they covered that bit up with some grey plastic. Otherwise, it's same-old same-old from the M-Division's styling, er, division.

Like Hero pointed out.... That is not an M5 at all. I am pretty confident the M5 will have fender grill inserts.

could do without the plastic rear valence as on current M sport package E92s and F10s, at least paint it body color or something.

m-package for sure. For M5 I expect a diffusor, different mirrors, different wheels and wider fenders

Zzzzzzz. All the bits look tacked on and not a coherent package.

Blaaah... Looks so ordinary (read "boring"). E-class AMG looks so much better but still it's not overtuned.

I doubt its an M5, it doesnt have those M placed exhausts or any other touches to it. or maybe their trying more than their best to hide the fact that its an M5.

Definetly not an M5. Just a 535i or 550i with the M5's engine under the hood and quad exhaust out the rear. The quad exhaust gives it away.
