Good Sighting on the way to LV
Did the bachelor party thing this weekend in Vegas. Driving on the freeway I saw this and had to share.
I had 4 heads in my car + luggage. Not only am I heavy, but I have people I love in the car so a bit of a pissing contest was out of the question. I will say this, the car is the real deal. I am and always will be an AMG fanatic but this new thing they created is very very nice. He opened it up and the sound is very impressive...

That is NOT an M5....it's probably just a 550i with an M-Sport package and some fancy wheels. Still awesome looking though, but no M5. Notice how it says "M" but no number after it...lol.

What's so impressive Vazha? It's just a stander 5 series with the M package (appearance)... You would have crushed him...
Note the deletion of the front reflectors on the M5 (which the car in question has), the insert in the front fenders that the M5 has (that the car in question also lacks), the rear air diffuser is smooth on this car and aggressive on the M5, and the M5 lacks fog lights, which the car in question has..

Yeah unfortunately that was a 5-er with the M package. M5's DO NOT HAVE FOG LIGHTS. That's how you spot them from the front. In the rear, look for the diffuser "hole" in the bumper.

Saw one of these earlier this year and was a bit puzzled. Knew it wasn't the M5 but what was it? I believe BMW sells the M package on the ordinary 5 without quad exhausts, so maybe it's an after-sales modification or an AC Schnizer or some such equivalent...

Ahhhhh, see? I never knew that. Now I'll know for sure if I just destroyed an M5 or a plain jane 5'er. You know, because his front will always be in my rearview mirror.
That car did look pretty good, though.

Just remember it's also possible that you sucked the fog lights out of the front bumper with the cavitation from your V12.

To the OP, I respect that you respect a good looking ride no matter what level the car is. A good looking car is a good looking car and the F10 is growing on me especially if its dropped and has wheels.
But that M Badge has to go.

It doesn't have the correct exhaust tips for a stock 550i (with or without the M sport package.) The 550i tips are twin rectangular tips not round quad tips. They are a couple of unwrapped M5 mules running around the region and they have round quad tips.
But this appears to be a 550i (or maybe even a 535) with some mods. Me thinks the posers are out in force already.....
