Have you guys seen the prices for a 07 BMW M5, those prices are tanking fast. BMW dealerships must be giving the E60's away right now because yesterday for fun, I counted how many I'll see on the way to school, about a 35minute drive, a whopping 24.

A 5 series, is a 5 series.
I do agree with you on the selling point. I'm quite sure the loyalist and the numerous fan-boys will flock to the dealerships with their checks in their hand for the F10. But with that said, I still think it’s a beautiful car, just like the E60. Either way BMW wins again.

I think this is much better than the new Infiniti M, which the style to me is all about curves everywhere that is coming out around the corner aswell. The style is more pleasing to the eye than that of the E-Class. Lexus please shock the world with the 4GS.

exterior is ok. a little too reserved looking IMO and of course the interior still looks BMW plain blah, functional with nice NAV screen (glad its not a pop-up a la CTS)

Wheels are horrible on this one [I would think they'd put the biggest+best on the car to showcase it!?!?!?], they look like 17's.


comment from utube that I agree with....I think it's elegant bordering on boring

They didn't drive the car. Sorry but it looks just like the 3 series with a bigger pig snout and the interior of the 7 series. It does nothing for me.

It will sell just as well as before, it will drive well, it is a 5 series. Bread and Butter.

It looks bland on the outside,, almost like a early 90s 7 series. I guess its ok if they wanna cater to buyers in their late 40s to early 50s.. Im in my early 30s and I would be fine rocking the current 5 series, but this new one is a big no no for me..

Nice enough for intended buyer, except the Volvo-ish big plasticky nose isn't helping. The European ped safety regs aren't a valid excuse (because I'm sure we will hear that excuse), it can be done better.

i watched the first 10 seconds, realized that the 'reviewer' wasn't gonna drive it, so i fast forwarded it to the end.

last 5 seconds of the video is where the meat is
