These are the first official images of the new BMW M5, which have been leaked onto the web by German car mag Auto Zeitung.
As expected, the twin-turbo, 552bhp V8 production car is virtually unchanged from the Shanghai motor show M5 'concept', save for more slinky door mirrors and chunkier side skirts.
More intriguingly, there are whispers on the webnet that a six-speed manual option is being developed (we can only hope) and that an optional performance package will increase the top speed to 189mph from 155mph (likewise).
But these are so far nothing more than unconfirmed rumours - and we'll have to wait until next week for the full gen on the new M5 (BMW is set to officially unveil it at the 'M Festival' on 23rd June). So for now you'll have to satisfy yourself with a good gawp at these pictures...
