It look better in real life.
It dose not look so high as the photo rendering before.
I think this car will sell well in HK because of the leg room at the back.
For the price, compare to the other cars it is worth it. about us$102,500
2 thing that is bad about the car so far is
1. The tail light tubes are very very ugly the tubes are way too think unlike the 7er. ( I just hope it not the same on the F10)
2. The boot is so small and inside there is little room for putting small thing in. The glove box is too small.
here are some close up shots, I will take more of the car tomorrow.

I am still not feeling it 
In some extent, the real thing looks worst than in the photos,
if you look at the front from the side, it seems it has been smashed into the wall (Very flat grills)
The only thing that i didnt expect is the price, equivalent to the 5 series but you get 7er leg room at the back

you will feel it.
in person it is impressive,to drive is a dream.it looks like you are all going to be disssapointed with the f10.i believe that the front of the gt is going to be" flat front of a f10" it will be the same but a little lower the grill around the spot lights will be narrower maybe less wheel arch showing with the lower stance.
by the way if you look at ambient lighting (the orange light under dash wood trim from left to right ,that is a cool touch.
all new cars will be flat fronted it seems for pedestrian safety,i am told.but remember this gt is seven inches longer thn a five so less overhang on front,if you are getting more rear legroom on f10 then it will be flattened on front. imo

My feeling is similar to when the e60 came out. There were lots of haters of the new body style. But what happened? Same as always, the 5 series still carried the torch of the midize luxury to have... Once you see it, you will be reminded its a 5 series and Bavarian Motor Works hasnt let anyone down for a long time!
