[zenderm3]

Love it! Fantastic Design.... can't wait to see it in person... can't wait to see the M5!

[ucla1995]

Where are those photos taken?

[JMD0977]

I like the rear:


The front looks to soft. Should have been more aggressive. It looks like a regular current gen 3 series:


Over all its good, but....

I agree.

[bmwF10]

The more I look to the pictures the more I fall in love by the car

PS: I'm a fan of bmw, and that started because of the E60 series, so, i don't think the current 5 that ugly as some of you say, IMO

[Bimmerboy888]

Simply gorgeous! Love it!!

[Hrcko]

Looks beautiful especially rear end, the thing i miss the most is that angry front end look from e60

[TK-421]

I love it! For some reason, it kinda reminds me of the E39... which is good because that's one of my favorite BMWs as far as looks are concerned

[BrokenVert]

I really like the back. Waiting on a better from air dam tho. Those headlights still look confused tho.

Overall it looks like a hyundai to me...don't know why.

[993 911]

The M5 variant will be sexy as hell.

[swizzreese]

Impressive, cant wait to see how the M5 turns out.

[nemex12]

hate the part of the tail lights in the trunk, that angle towards the bumper(going down) keeps bothering me. whis they kept the flat line of the tail lights of the f01

[alq80]

damn... i wouldnt mind one of them 550i's!!

[Scooterman]

- Back looks good
- Side profile looks a bit long in the nose with Volvo like grille overhang
- Front okay but the bonnet is too busy. The outside creases aren't quite right
- will look better in MSport guise

Strange positioning of the i-drive controller though.

All in all glad I got rid of the E60 4 months ago

The Family Tree photos made me think of Cookie Monster on Sesame Street singing his famous song: "One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong..."

And he wasn't singing about the F10.

[nemex12]

imho it wouldve look bettter if the lower part of the rear lights were aligned with the lines of the rear bumper. something like this (made in paint).i think those lines going down dont help at all

PLAIN JANE

[BMW BRAD]

I like the rear, but I'm not sure about the front fascia..... I cant wait to see the M tech sport package, M5 versions!

[AWESOM3]

Looks great from the rear...reminiscent of the 3 series coupe actually.
Side view works...but front cud have been more aggro.
Overall thumbs up.
Interior reminds of my 7....

[ocgasman]

I really like what they did. I just got my M3, but might have to upgrade to M5 in 3 yrs.
