So yeah, I doubt the M5 is gonna look any different, except for maybe the tail lights. The camo'd M5 had pre production ones. The M5 Touring teaser clearly had different tail lights too.
Personally I love the look of this i5 m60 except the Tailights, reminds me too much of the AMG GT Sedan. So I’m here for that change!

Such a let down. Whoever is in charge with BMW design should be fired. Looks like my next car won’t be an M5

If I were building one, it would be that same color scheme with tartufo interior. Great looking vehicle

Tartufo definitely suits Manhattan Green,
This has the full black leather which is weird that it’s individual but my choice would probably be something more basic like marina bay or Frozen pure grey which we did have an M60 last week in that spot

I’m disappointed in the interiors for the G60. Was hoping they’d reintroduce Tartufo or Caramel from the pre-LCI G30 lineup

All car manufacturers are doing it, it's cheaper than paint (and metal).

The front is starting to grow on me. The rear end has not.

I don't necessarily disagree, but if you want to buy something new and you don't want the big black plastic front end your options are awfully limited.
