Nice.. I love LEDs, but I'm surprised they didn't have them earlier.. some of the later years of production on the E46 coupe had LEDs. What, exactly, is new about the outside except for the LEDs though? I notice the headlight looks a little different inside, but it's the same shape. Anything else?

Great, at first they don't do it...now they overdue it. :)

BTW: probably added $3,000 to the cost of the car :rofl:

Wow, the changes are so subtle you can't even tell what they are. :confused: It looks like the revised the bumbers a little bit. :dunno:

The LED upgrade can't be just an M5 only update... it must be across the entire E60 line or at least from the 535i on up?

BMW needs to remove the "nanny-DSC" function for the 6-speed manual tranny. Also, they need to up the HP/Torque on the M5....MB has BMW beat already!!

Rumor has it that BMW may have a 550hp M5....but, they still need to make it that you can turn off DSC completely!!

Yeah...but it will be 550hp and 389tq. :)

It seems that a V10 should have more torque than 389 lb-ft

Yes, 528i and up Check this post.

Examples:
E46 M3, 330hp/262tq
M coupe, 330hp/262tq
M5 500hp/383tq
M6 500hp/383tq
328 230hp/200tq

Then again, do F1 engines have all that much torque?

don't know, do they? :rofl:

Don't know about torque but check out the HP numbers for displacement, not to mention RPMs.
