You aren't the only one who thinks that the Chris Bangle styling designs are better than the previous designs, but I can find a whole camp of folks that will readily disagree with you. The problem is, you can't find a 'right' or 'wrong' because there is none. It's just an opinion

Anyway, I have always thought both M5 sedan and wagon are far better looking than E55. And since taking delivery of the M5, I am more than convinced that Chris Bangle is right and BMW traditionalist is wrong.
Anway, flame away,

Ahhhh yes.. after I have 5 shots and 10 beers the BMW looks good oh and so does the fat ugly b-itch sitting across the bar.
Anyone notice the BMW's resemblance to the Pontiac?
I thought Chris Bunghole was no longer with BMW??
For the record I think the old 5 and 3 series are very good looking...

to give it its due respect i am a big fan of the new M5. Honestly its a great sedan. I love the E55. But i think i would spend the extra few grand and get the CLS55. This whole MB vs BMW crap is starting to get annoying. OF course theres nothing wrong in taking pride in what you drive, and healthy criticism is fine. But dont attack the person for buying the vehicle.
to get back on topic, I dont like wagons, I dont care if its a ferrari. ALL WAGONS are ugly. just like all minivans suck. (i dont count crossovers since the new R class has a nice touch but i wouldnt buy one). atleast im not being biased towards one company
While driving the other day my gf mistakenly thought the new 3 series was a honda. That doesnt mean its a crappy car. Alot of car makes elaborate on other car makers designs. This includes lexus, mb, jag, and all the high end luxury cars that we prize so much. I love MB cars and Im sure id find a reason to Love BMW cars.

I had an E39 M5 and an E46 M3- both amazing cars that looked good. If I am to follow with the new 5 series I would seriously have to take into effect an old college philosophy:
Go ugly early!!!
Go ugly early!!!
