Will BMW ever kill that little "shark fin" on the roof? Or at least reshape the damn thing just a little with each new generation.

Take this!



Wait to see the car IRL! It's a true killer. The new E-class looks like a Grandpamobile compared to F10.

After seeing those renditions I'm starting to have second thoughts, sure it's a great looking car, but looks way too much like a 7 to me. It really doesn't make much sense, BMW is coming up with all of these new niches to fulfill, and instead of making these new cars unique and distinguishable, they all are starting to look the same.

I can't stand the idea of the 5GT, not the car itself, but that fact that BMW now basically has 5 SAVs in their lineup, wtf.

+ 1,000. E39 marries F01. No surface tension. After 30 seconds of looking it holds no more interest. FWIW the new Ford Taurus is more exciting visually.

Oh this is a seriously nasty shit.
5ers looked the best 2 generations ago.
Now its becoming look alike to the nasty ass 7 series.
I loved 5&7 looked the best 2 generations ago...
Bangle fucked it up then it just became a trend.

E-class totally rock 5 series now in price/options/look.
You could get very nicely equiped e-class for less then ok 528i now.
5 is going down.

For the last 8 years, I haven't liked a new BMW at first sight. However, every model that I didn't like has grown on me and turned out to be a very appealing car...I ended up buying the e60 and the e92 because I thought they were gorgeous, despite hating their designs at first and liking the older generation when I first saw the new cars released.

Anyone else experience this?
i have owned 2 E60's, a 545 and a 550, I guess hot is in the eyes of the beholder, I think my E60's were/are hot looking cars, and to drive them is really what it was all about, especially on the Autobahn or in the mountains of Germany which I had the opportunity to do with ED. Believe me, when you push that sport button on the 550, it's like a booster rocket. So I am really excited about the F10, time for a style change and I like what I see so far, cant wait to see the car without the camo, but what it is really about, is that it is a BMW 5 series, the most fun sedan on the market.

That looks stunning...low slung like the e39 parked next too it, but a bit longer and sleeker!

Why form opinions on a car that hasn't been fully uncovered or on some renditions of what it might look like? Wait until you see final photos or in person to make judgment.
