Looks much better with the AC Schneizer kit and wheels on it, but those headlights and taillights are still very UGLY.

I think its important to see this car in motion as well. The front fenders have a very muscular appearance too them. Also the rear is MUCH better than the 745 although still somewhat awkward.

Thumbs up not that ugly

its not bad, but what car isn't bad that is going to run you 46-50k plus. Plus a high end car with a high end set of wheels and a high end body kit isn't going to look low end.

I don't know man, I already saw quite a few on the road ( white/graphite ) It is still fugly and hasn't grown any bit different. I would take GS/E-class anyday.

Hamid, I also think the rear end looks "Subaru-ish"

I meant it! Black is the color that makes most cars look their best! And in the case of the new 5 series, black can even hide its fugliness.

Dark colors and even just looking at cars in dark situations tends to make cars look great.

Then of course big rims can make almost any car look decent.

This 745 looked GREAT in person:

I swear the fact that those cars can handle 22s and a drop is ridiculous!!

I was never a huge fan of BMWs, but I must say the previous gen 7 series was beautiful. I also think the last gen 5 was nice, though the model 2 gen ago was the best. The newer design theme which started with the Z4 and the 7 series is not what I would call beautiful. I've been waiting patiently for the new 7 series to grow on me, but it hasn't happened. And after seeing the new 5 in person, I don't think it will happen with them either. The new E class is heads above the new 5, IMHO.
