What an achievement. 40mpg, 306 bhp, 442 lb-ft, 0-60 6.3 sec and 181 C02. Cheap to run mega fast.

I think they are incredible figures!

The 'new' 5 series GT looks the business

I'm serious,looks stunning.

Alot of people slated the 'flame surface'BMW's but i think the current crop is very different and other marques will soon be copying it.
One exception the X6,that is a pointless car.

i recon the x6 was only made to give the q7 some competition

The Q7 is much better looking!

Amazing figures! GT isn't very nice looking, but the new 7 is a lot better looking than the last one, especialy the rear. Is it my imagenation or does it look like a merc?

Yes,you are probably right,BMW didnt want to lose any sales so decided to make a alternative,and dare i say it but they would be hoping people will buy it because it is a 'BMW'

i seen a new 7 the other day and it looked pretty cool, although i liked the old 7 facelift models, prefacelift looked like an ugly whale

It's strange how a cars look/shape can grow on you. When the current m5 shape came out i really hated it and, having always loved M5's from the E28, i was really angry with BMW.

Now though i actually love it and would seriously buy one if i had the readys. Someone on here made a valid point that BMW could design the cars so that they age well or look good in some many years time (or words to that affect) i mean look how good an E30 still looks
