God bless Adrian Van Hooydonk. Bangle had started to turn BMW into an extremely flashy, over-commercialized, quasi-Japanese German brand! Van Hooydonk definitely knows what makes a BMW a BMW, and why most of us still loves the earlier models more than the later models. Thank God bangle is gone...now we can get back to the basics!

Can't agree more. The new 5 loses its exclusive elegant look and yet it's not aggressive either. It's neither here or there. I hope it looks different in person.

Can t be compared with E class in terms of design... It looks much much better...
Also with 7 over S (it can be bought with Individual Packet or just with M Packet).. There is also an excellent Alpina B7 version available...
Incredible comments...

Swedish Automotorsport at Premiere

A few comments:
- Classic elegance, what many people been waiting for, a classic BMW stunner.
- Feels super luxerious with a super clean design.
- Feels almost like a 7-series but not as fluffy as the 7-series, its more strict
- This is the sixth generation and it was a long time ago when I was at a premiere when all people involved with the 5-series project were so happy with their product.

+1 but the interior is sweet.

booorrrinngggg.... the old 5 was at least controversial. This one looks like a big 3 series and the 3 series is outdated 2 years ago.

BMW hasnt been able to get it right since the E90/92/93 M3 and 6 Series.

Audi is killing them in the styling department (interior and exterior). Lets hope this sucker at least performs.
