Did you take these pics? If so, what are your initial thoughts seeing it in person?

Yes I did take the pics.
My honest opinion. Side profile very underwhelming. I believe with a frozen colour it would like more sporty. It needs to be lowered a touch and a slight wider stance. That being said I can’t wait until mine arrives.

I kinda like the fact that this car is more subtle. But then, I drive an Audi...

I love new M5 but it needs to become little wider and aggressive. Its so similar to regular 5-series.

It is 1.5” wider than a regular 5 series. I think if you add spacers, wider tires and coilovers it will look perfect.

Nice, I haven't been on here in a while and saw this Toronto based post. Honestly I think this generation of M5 is super low key compared to the previous 2 I have owned. I am so curious as to why BMW took this route, it looks very "mehh" from pretty much all angles.

Just came back from the auto show and I am quite disappointed to see that no one was really interested in the M5 but when you go to the Mercedes, it was packed, primarily by Asians. It didn't help that the M5 was placed in the back corner of the BMW area.

I was at the show last week. You are right Mercedes has the best location in the show and it is also twice as big as BMW's area.

However, I saw the M5 and loved it. (I am Asian) I ordered mine yesterday. I also changed my mind and get the Marina Bay Blue instead of white after seeing the car at the show.

It really is no great shakes in the flesh , just looks like an M Sport 5 series.

I used to have that similar interior color in my other BMW. With kids, that color will become so nasty so fast...
