BMW makes the Ms look more aggressive than the base models. This Q5 just looks like Audi is actually mocking the idea that the performance version should look different.
Lol, seriously? The only thing they have in common with the A4 are the doors.

How do you think they fit the wider wheels?

I really like the Q5 (even this one, yes the paint is a bit much), but I haven't seen them in person yet. Glad to see the are already showing the potential of the 3.0TFSI.

The truth is that the M/Sport IS closer to an M because there is nothing unique, unlike the RS model which in the case of the RS6 is the squared off arches. You simply couldn't possibly mistake an RS6 for anything else unless you were a complete dick.
It's different in the states. The only car that gets the M sport treatment is the 550 with the M sport package, those a rare to come by. So, as far as the US goes, there is a huge difference in looks between normal BMW's and M's.

I'm not sure why everyone is knocking the colors right now. its a concept, complete with concept colors. Next time you see this, you will immediately know that you are looking at the concept version. its good marketing IMO
