Personally I don't think many of the newer BMW designs will age well, thanks to the many superflous details. For a design to work over time, every detail needs to add up to create harmony in the overall look and feel. Making these cars appleaing to the Asian market through expressive design took precedence over refninig the details that count, that more importantly, have defined the BMW look for so many years .

I am referring to the 5er that is currently out. To depreciate that much seems a little bit to much for me.

i love the car, especially in dark colours. Add the sportpackage and you have the coolest car in the class. 5er is one hell of a car and the M5 is to die for

The weakest part on 5er E39 is the rear, looks plain and not as aggressive as the new. The strongest part on 5er E60 is the rear so im very happy bmw fixed the problem I had with E39.

Same with what you said. Very boring indeed.

I already know what every member here is going to say on this subject. Overdone and very unsurprising answers.... - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

At least the car is ten times as original as all those boring and the same looking Audis. Thank GOD!
