I wish the M5 looked more different than a regular 5 series.
they look very much the same. It needs a more aggresive stand to match the engine.

The point of the M cars is not flash. It is a few subtle (ok quad pipes are not subtle) details that let people who know, know. THAT IT IS THE FAST ONE. I personally do not want flash in my cars (anymore) I want a sleeeeeeper!

^that's interesting..
Mercedes AMG doesn't come with AWD though, if that's what they're targeting.

I hope the AWD is optional? What's the accuracy of that article if they say the hp is 552, 3 less than the X5M / X6M? Not likely.
