Maybe there is a slight similarity in the headlights, but there is no way anyone would mistake that car for a BMW.

That Bangle sure is a visionary. To think that everyone hated the "eye lash" in the beginning. What was I thinking.

How about the Acura RL? The new A6? The M45? The new Lexus GS? Half a dozen other Japanese cars? Bangle certainly sparked the next generation of designs with the 5-Series - as he predicted.

I saw some modified Japanese car with 7-series style eye lid, too. BMW is the trend leader, so far.

BMW... Often immitated, never duplicated... Even when others complain for being a trend setter like one said in this thread.

Here is another immitation... from Scion tC

Can't believe how much my E60 cost me and how much I could have saved buying a Citroen. I mean its the same car. Just waiting now for someone to ask me what I think of my Citroen C4. Joking apart a friend of mine once said to a guy with a Ferrari that he liked his Ford Probe
