Im pretty SURE those are NOT M5 wheels even though they look similair.

I believe it has to do with the rather unflattering grey colour interior that came with these pictures... I'm looking forward to see more flamboyant and striking colours that would really put it in its best light.

BTW, I only see a manual available for now, will SMG be offered first before ZSG debuts?

No, by the time this car is actually available to purchase the ZSG will have already been unveiled.

BMW, stop limiting your cars to 155 for god's sake!! Let that thing go babay. If im paying 55k for an M3 i want it to go as fast as my hearts content. Damnit

Nice, thanks.

BTW, I read that the Cd x A value of this car is 0.684... What's the Cd then? What is A?

The fuel consumption figure is really good... I'm really impressed. Our Maserati does far worse.

Guys, I think BMW has done a fantastic job masking the weight of this car.
I was browsing the through the M5 bulletin board and found this:

- ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

It states the EU weight of the vehicle as 1650 kg- that we know
On the footnote you will notice the following definition of EU weight:
1. 90% of fuel tank
2. 68kg passenger
3. 7 kg load.

So as someone that like crunching numbers, I went about figuring things out.
The petrol tank is rated at approximately 63 litres, so 90% capacity=56.7 litres
Petrol weighs 0.737kg/litre @ 16 degrees C= 41.8kg
If you subtract the weight of the Petrol+Passenger+Cargo> 1650-(42+68+7)= 1533 kg
Curb weight(depending on what standard)= 1533+42(47) ie (1575-1580)kg depending on the fuel load:90%-100%
