E60 M5 Pics from Geneva show
It's the real thing although called a "concept"!! Billed as "almost" 500hp, no run-flat tires so handling should be better than standard E60, no interior shots possible. Apparently sounds much more muscular than E39 but the guys I spoke to were not sure if it would be that loud in production. Sorry about the quality - the strong orange lighting made it hard to photograph!! First deliveries early next year..

Enjoy!

Re: E60 M5 Pics from Geneva show
Other than the glare of the overhead white lights, those are actually cool pics. The orange light does throw some cool colors on the surface.

Any chance someone could get some GOOD shots of the brakes?

Re: E60 M5 Pics from Geneva show
nice wheels too.....not sure about the side gills and i think the car could use a rear lip spoiler like the e39 (to disguise the butt a bit). overall they've made the front a bit better looking than the stock e60 but it's still an e60 so i'm sure the looks will be controversial.

anyway it's a moot point for me since unless the $$ continues to tank i won't want to pay the freight anyway....

It would seem the cheesey little plastic spoiler from the E39 M5 would only accentuate the E60 butt instead of minimizing it. You can readily guess from my use of adjectives that I am not a big fan of it.

Re: E60 M5 Pics from Geneva show
It looks like the E60 has a little wider flare around the wheel wells. NICE! Should help keep the side of the car clean.
