Smile - 2005 Bmw ///m5 (e60) Pictures!

Just got an e-mail with the following pic attachments. Spy shots of the new 500 HP E60 ///M5.

What do you think?









Regards,

I have seen the new 5 on the road and god...it looks so much better on pictures. If it was not a BMW I would think it was some pos Hundai.

That just looks to be vinyl masking. Notice the same masking to cover up what looks to be fender gills like the M3.

I think the BMW design team needs to lay off of the crack... I totally thought the new 7 series was butt ugly and now this?? Dont get me wrong, the 7 series is a very technologically advanced car and im sure the new M5 will kick *** in performance, but in the looks department...

Just my 2 cents.

BMW is making great performers, but they look like crap. The 7 series looks best in dark colors. In white it looks absolutely awful. I'd take the E55 over the new M5 any day, no matter how well the M5 performs.

I'm sure it will be fast and powerul but it looks like a Tiburon. I would take that over the Tiburon any day! It doesn't even look luxurious, more like a semi sports car.
