SPIED At Bimmerfest East 2013 — FIRST REAL-LIFE Shots Of The 2014 BMW M5

Bimmerfest East wasn't all about crushing beer cans on your skull and showing your love for the Bavarians. It also was a good spot to do some car spotting, apparently. That's because we noticed BMW brought an all-new 2014 BMW M5 sporting what appears to be an all-new color and the all-new Competition Package.

At first I thought it was Sakhir Orange but upon a second and third glance now it seems too red to be Sakhir.

Though studio images have been released showing off the 2014 M5 and the Competition Package, this is the first time we're seeing it in the flesh. Sadly though it wasn't equipped with the new lightweight wheels instead it was shod with the 20-inch lightweight wheels from the 2013 model. In addition, no carbon ceramic big brake kit on this specific vehicle.

However, it was nice to get an up close look at the new changes:

- Updated front kidney grille
- Updated LED headlights
- M6 steering wheel
- New exhaust

Though most of these changes are particularly...not a big deal...I will say this: the new exhaust for the competition package is MUCH bigger than the stock vehicle. In addition to the larger tips, it also appears to have the "M" logo laser-etched.
