i like the arse but front will take some getting use to

all insides of the new gen bm's look the same

[jaymos]

im not sure of it tbh, sayin that when the current 5 series 1st came out i thought it was horrid but it grew on me after a while, this maybe the same

[ImysE30]

Very nice that, like the rear tv's

[inlovewithRWD]

It's a lot nicer than the e60 5 series. I'm not sure about the new obsession for massive kidney grills though.

[oakey]

It looks nice inside.....

Look at the furking bonnet
Nasty looking turd! The five series lost it's style after the e34 IMO. E39s are excusable

[dazleeds]

not too bad an arse shame about the face tho

[Morat]

I reckon that is a vast improvement over the current model, although side on it does look a bit clumsy. Three quarter views, front or rear, are great.

[Andyboy]

Looks great to me - nice and chunky, great proportions, 7 Series side profile, Z4 style headlamps and grille and looks like a 3 Series Coupe from the back. A vast improvement over the E60 which was a bit of a pig.
That's going to be a huge success and will rape a few sales from Audi and Merc - the new E class is a right f*cking mess.

I like it - a big improvement on the E60.

However, after looking at Blitz's signature picture it shows how great the E34 still looks - a superb and timeless piece of design.

That fronts.. Huuuuugly..!

shoulda carried the front valance alot lower.. and.. i hate the goofy looking nose..

Harman, lumma, and alpina kits, will be interesting though...

[maxfield]

I like it.

[Ziggy]

Nice enough in a non-offensive way (sensible given the market!), but I prefer the E60. I think I'll have a black E60 saloon in a couple of years.

[Fal_325i]

Looks like a lexus from the back. I'm not too sure on this.

[pac1982]

For some reason i'm getting volvo vibes from the front even though i know it dont look like a volvo

Pedestrian safety. Thats why all new cars now will have a stubby nose.

[Ollie_bwoii]

I like that tbh! Although if the headlamps were a little wider then it would look better at the front.

[stuartgallafant]

Chris Bangle did well, but the new team are really making waves. All the new generation BMWs are using large, flat front ends, which aids airflow for aerodynamic and cooling purposes. The lines and shapes they use are a lot more free-flowing and they all look strange at first, coz we've been used to the E60 for 7 years!

I agree with Andyboy, and i think it will be a great success, especially against the competition. the 5 series has always done well, but i think this will be really good

[rix313]

Sorry for the repost today

[Ace 325i]

Looks alot like the e9X facelift 3 series..which isn't a bad thing!

mind you i had a 318d m sport facelift a few months back..pretty nippy and felt solid!!!

[blitz877]

much prefer the e60 model

[dapperdan8001]

The front is a massive let down. Whats with the bonnet????? pac1982 mentioned it looked like a volvo, it does look like my 2008 s80 grill wise

[old_skool]

The front looks like a a cross between a Volvo and Gail Tilsley !

[tomson]

That looks very nice, though I think I prefer the E60 which does seem to be a marmite car . . .

Agreed, it's stunning!
