+1

It looks like the bastard offspring of a Lexus and a MB.

Boo.

however unlike the car journalist I love th elegance of the current design, few cars get my attention on the road, even my wife and kids comment when an e60 passes. It is too bad all the experts crapped on the current design when it came out they created a concensus ,,,funny thing is now that all the other brands have released newer models some of these same naysayers now comment on how now they are starting to like the e60. which I believe was ahead of the curve.

Dangerously close to a rice car in design. I think BMW needs to get back towards their roots in their more boxy designs that we know and love.

3XTR3M3 · 05-08-2007, 02:00 PM

what the shit did they do?!?!?! slap on the new navigator tail lights and cut the corners or sumthin? this "thing" looks like the result of a Subaru breding with an acura over spring break. an acid induced love child. The back is whatever but that front is possibly the worst photoshop ive ever seen.

ejazbmw · 05-08-2007, 02:47 PM

now that i look at it closer it reminds me of a girl hahaha is it just me or does someone else see it....

Gort · 05-08-2007, 03:19 PM

E90 with an E92 roofline.

MacAttack · 05-08-2007, 04:36 PM

Looks sharp.

Spool · 05-08-2007, 04:38 PM

That's a Lexus

shragon · 05-08-2007, 04:48 PM

photochop.

not that impressed.

Chesmu · 05-08-2007, 04:49 PM

It looks like Mr. Spock.

The e39 was the last good-looking 5

look at the drivers side it has no hoodline. It does look good but this is a REPOST.

forget the hoodline the obvious one for me is the rear wheel well on the second pic.

GreyGhost · 05-08-2007, 06:14 PM

This is what the current M5 should have looked like IMO.

Carnage · 05-08-2007, 06:54 PM

works for me

Haris · 05-08-2007, 07:49 PM

is it me or are you guys going nuts for no reason.. why would bmw release any visual details on the their 2010 model? This just looks like a photochop of 335 Coupe + current 5. I don't think the next 5 will look anything like this.
