BMW did not waste any time with the reveal. I like the design language already. It has a taste of Maserati to it & looks like a premium sedan should.

Well, it's not like they didn't do it before. Does anybody remember the E38, E39, and to some extent the E46?

I think this one will need to be seen in person though. One thing I already don't really like is the light on the side of the car. Why does it have to span from the front quarter panel the door?

You mean a Maserati that was hammered into the shape of a box.

It's okay to criticize a manufacturer you support...

With the release of the F10, this means the prices of the 2007 M5s will drop steadily. *giggles like a schoolgirl*
