    new BMW 5 series impression

    Looks promising! I just can't stand the current generation of most BMW products and this from a guy who has owned a couple.

    Looks very plain, but certainly glad about the de-Bangleing.

    Re: new BMW 5 series impression

    For sure a positive step forward, I like it.

    The current 5 series or rather the entire BMW line looks out of proportion and such an eye soar, except the new X6 and 3 coupe.

    Finally BMWs are looking better...

    X6 is not bad in person, although I don't see the point of the car. New 3 series almost too bland...

    looks much better than the E60 of the Bangle era... did Bangle get fired or thrown into a closet?

    Re: new BMW 5 series impression

    I definitely like this! It's a little too close to the 3 series in my opinion though, needs to be shown as classier (which it is...)

    Thats a 3series photoshop with taillights from the X6. I guess this is to far from reality!

    That's old Photoshop...

    But according to friend who works in BMW, new models starting with 7 series (F01) will look much better than current models..

    But I have to say I like current 5 series, Z4 and 6 series a lot. Also 3 Coupe is nice too, but old 3 coupe E46 was nicer at the time when it was introduced.

    Good.
    That's what the current 3er should have looked from behind to begin with!

    Looks great, makes the old one look way overdone and very outdated in comparison.

    Re: new BMW 5 series impression

    BMW 5 F10 with all other new bimmers will have a lot bigger front grill and spy picture of new 5 series (F10) confirm that:




    This photoshop was meant to show how new 7 series will look, but according to someone from BMW, thats more similar to new 5 series:

    Ziga, that frobnt grille looks almost comically big. Hopefully it looks somewhat sleeker.

    Exactly...design the same car and increase the size by 20% for each new larger/more expensive model.

    Re: new BMW 5 series impression

    Every one in this period seems to be interested in showing this kind of FAMILY LOOK. Audi did, Saab did....it's as Porsche would put a sign twice as big on the car or ferrari stamping a 25 cm big cramping horse everywhere possible.
    Do you guys think this to be nice?
    I don't....
