Photos of the facelifted F10 BMW M5, disguise-free, are making the rounds online, thanks to a car configurator that was accidentally posted ahead of the super-sedan’s scheduled release later this year. German pricing is reportedly set to begin at €103,300 (RM401k).
The re-designed kidney grille, mirroring that first seen on the new BMW M6, has ‘double-line’ vertical slats and an M badge. The headlamps now feature flat-bottomed Corona Rings and they also seem to be full-LED units, which is expected to be an optional extra. The tail lamps get updated graphics too.
Inside, the updated BMW M5 gets the new, slimmer M Sport steering wheel and the new iDrive Touch – the latter involving a multi-touchpad which allows smartphone-style finger gestures as well as character entry.
The 4.4 litre twin-turbo V8 should soldier on, making 560 hp and 680 Nm of torque – but if that’s not enough for you, various reports speak of an optional Competition Package that could push output to around 575 hp, besides offering tweaked suspension, a revised M Dynamic Mode, exclusive 20-inch alloys and a special sports exhaust system.
We’ve shown you spyshots of the facelifted F10 BMW 5 Series in standard, M-Sport and M5 forms – even the F07 5 Series GT didn’t escape our lenses. For a game of spot-the-difference, revisit the pre-facelift F10 BMW M5 here.

Awesome! but imo, not fierce enough
Looks more of the old 3series
so with the i-drive touch character entry – how do you use your right hand to enter characters if you are sitting on the right (e.g. RHD car)?
RM401k? would have driving this now if it were to have such a cheap price in Malaysia… too bad here even a 528i is much expensive than an M5.
