I beg to differ. With the loss of the regular sports back, the car lacks a nicer steering wheel, and the base wheels are awful compared the the 19s that used to come on the Sport Pack.

The car has lost its edge. Yes, its sells like hot cakes, but the reality is unless you want M sport, its not nearly as sporty as the E60 was in its hey day.

The only thing I am concerned about is the redesign of the front and rear fascia. Its perfect in my eyes. It does make me think if there were a way to equip the car with sport steering wheel, black headliner, sport seats and comfort seats i'd order now regardless of LED headlights ect.

But the steering... if its being reengineered to be sportier and more communicative... well then we have to wait for that alone. The 6 series GT is getting praise for being what the 5 series should have been at the get go.
