We’ve compiled the following gallery of new renders, past spy photos, and samples from other BMW models to give you an idea of what the color palette will look like on the 2012 F10 M5. This will hopefully help our future F10 M5 owner members decide on the color for their new M5.

The wheels are simply a silver version of the gloss black wheels on the concept M5.
We’ve put together a set of comparison … CONTINUED
