Id say...WOW...I like it.

I love that head on shot.

amg55

The photos looks pretty good to me.
The front end has grown on me some since the 5 first came out.
Unfortunately the interior will still be a half step up from a Kia.

"Unfortunately the interior will still be a half step up from a Kia."

You got that right! I'm sure Nasharty will attest to that one. What ever happened to him? Did Bangle have him picked-off after posting all those nasty pictures of the crappy quality control issues on the new BMW's?

Oh yeah, don't forget that the **** end of the M5 will be only a step away from a Pontiac Bonneville.

if they would jus change the damn headlights and taillights

something rounder and softer

I am a close friend of nasharty's. He is currently very busy in business and says he'll return to this forum as soon as he's free.

Man, I'm chuckling to myself imagining people freaking out when that front end starts bearing down on them. It screams, get the hell out of my way. And yes, that's a good thing.

DAMN! That is one aggressive and mean lookin' car!

oggle

Looks like another ***** car to me. I've seen the 5's, and it's one boring car. The side goes straight up and down like the designer took 5 minutes on it.

Overall thumbsdown on the styling. Performance will certainly be excellent, but damn... that bangle curse.

absent

Excellent!!!
I'm curious about the interior though,hopefully nothing like 545.

BoBcanada

i think the extirror looks very bad in a 5 series, and from the side it looks terrible....still i wanna see some tests e55 against new v10!!!

Chris Bangle needs to be shot before he screws up any more BMW's. The exterior design of the new 7 series and 5 series, and the Z4 from some angles is just awful.

I blind, parapelgic who recently had a stroke and was submerged in their bathtub forr an hour before being revived could do a better job

oggle

I've sat in the new 5 too, and I have to say, the interior is nasty too. Looks like some 70's retro car. Doesn't strike me as luxurious whatsoever.

AMG Fan

Performance should be great, but styling certainly isn't. This car certainly looks the best in black (especially with tinted windshield).

TectiteE

I like, looks mean as hell. I agree with the interior of the 5 though, thats one of the main reasons why I got the E over the 5 series. and as much as i'm in love with the e55, I'd watch out when one of those pull up next to you.

AMG Fan

It's going to take an AMAZING driver to shift perfect to beat my E55. In the twisties, it will have the advantage.

TectiteE

with SMG II you don't need to be perfect, just mash. it actually shifts quicker than a normal person could

krispykrme

i tend to disagree. so far no magazine has coclusively demonstrated that SMG-II equipped M3 is faster than 6 speed.

I do not like SMG. In many cases, the SMG-II was too smart that would double clutch when I don't want it to. Which actually slowed the acceleration.

I hate SMG but have to get one, because no one in the house except me can drive a stick.

MB AMG

Ughh! I loved the old M5!

Pbglas

I agree. Driving hte M3, the shifts in the auto mode seemed slower than I could make and slower than the E55, in the short ride I took. May be there was something wrong with the M3, but hte slowness was noticeable.
