Officially: BMW M5 Concept bound for Shanghai

Based off the current F10 5 Series chassis, the M5′s exterior has been pinched, pulled and imbued with the understated aggression that typifies BMW’s M-fettled products. Up front, a revised front fascia houses three enlarged black mesh-covered intakes to feed the turbocharged eight-cylinder’s and supply the front brakes with cool air. The lower edge of the sculpted front bumper is a pure representation of BMW’s latest M models and extends rearward to the aerodynamic rear apron with an integrated diffuser. A deceptively subtle lip spoiler extends across the trunk to provide downforce at speed, while M-specific quad exhausts shuttle spent hydrocarbons out the back.
