The E60 design is a classic. Its rear is the best of the Bangles, particularly when viewed from the front side of the car or directly from behind. What homage Honda paid to Bangle with its new Accord. Its essentially its a combo of the E60 and A6 (C6). Given many of the bland Asian designs, it was a good call. Looks good. The Lexus GS is the best of the Jap designs.
Sadly however, the new exterior refresh does nothing for the current E60 and IMHO the front nose and lower side fascia dissappoints. Additionally, the rear tailight treatment looks too Asian and the side indicator lights look contrived (better on the 3 coupe). Interior is better. The models 04-07 are the classic Bangles.

One of the other features that has not been spoken too much about is the 'regenerative braking'.... That was supposed to be one of the highlights of the LCI but I haven't read alot about it.
I don't think the E60's rear lights look 'Asian'.... in fact, it is the Hondas et al that have copied the E60s' design.... so I am of the opinion that the design was so good that the others just fell in line.
