I know everyone has been saying how un-BMW-ish the E60 design is, but I just witnessed an interesting thing. My nephew (who is not yet 2 years old) walked into my office and pointed to the E60 (which is my Windows Wallpaper) and screamed Bimma Bimma. Now the only Bimmers he knows are my E46 and his dad's E32, but he somehow managed to tell the E60 was a Bimmer just by seeing a side view. I dont know what that means exactly, but I decided to share it. For the record, He doesnt think all cars are Bimma's :-)

All you need is the roundel (propeller) and the kidney grill.? Put those on a Toyota and he will scream Bimma.
