I dunno... I like it more than the current one. I'm not a fan of the current model at all, so just about any change is good for me.

I hated the current 5 series at first. Now I actually like it's radical styling. I like it so much my beloved E39 no longer pulls my heart strings.
Note to Bangle: Please don't screw up the 5 series.

I don't want to hear the "we don't understand the style" crap.

I understand ugly perfectly, I prefer not to sleep with it or own it

Guys it's an "artist's rendering" - a GUESS, and not a photograph.

They have been pretty accurate in *some* of their renderings in the past though, like the new S class, 3 series, & looks like the new CL class too . . .

The current 5-series doesn't have dual exhaust either. I think the single exhaust takes away from a lot of the rear end on it. I'm one of the few fans of the current styling. BMW has a tendency to not put dual exhaust exits on their vehicles... doesn't look good IMO.

when i first saw it i also thought hey maybe a redesigned to the 3 series sedan instead of a 5 series design becuz those headlights are obviously from the e46 coupes. the question here is what do you prefer? this or the e90.

Only the M cars have dual exhaust as you lose your spare wheel (yes, even with the runflats BMW includes a spare).

I personally LOVE the new rear on these spy shots. I think the current tail lights are the least attractive part of the car.
