I've had people walking around it in parking lots, trying to look in the windows, and a couple ask me what kind of car it is (debadged). Everyone says it is a stunning car. So, it does attract attention, much more than any car I've had.

Of course, I don't hear from the people that don't like it - fine with me.

Most of the time, people turn their neck until I've gone to turn on the other side. Luv it ..... Got a lot of appraisal from all of my friends once they saw my car. They didnt think the car was good at the first time they saw the pic, but after saw my car..I got a lot of from them ....

I've caught people walking around my car in a parking lot three times now. It's pretty funny because I'm debadged, and I always get the same comments. "Beautiful car! What is it??'

In Chicago also I get a lot of great feedback. People seem to really like the design which is very intersting considering all of the negative press. I've received a lot of compliments from people in all age groups. It seems BMW (Bangle) understands what people like even though he can't seem to please those who write for Auto magazines. By the way, everyone that has seen how the Idrive operates in my car thinks it is great.
I'm in NW burbs of Chicago- I see more and more E60s-but only 530s - usually grey and silver. I work in a hospital - there are 3 here in the lot : mine, another 545 (auto) and a 530-- my dealer told me my 545SMG was the first they ordered (delivered in April).

Lots of stares and praise from friends. I have jet black with auburn leater and all the toys. Other BMW owners here are not friendly - I try and give a thumbs up but all I get back is a stare.

Even when I had my 540, I didn't see that many around town-mostly 530s and not that many in my particular area -though I'm seeing more now (people are probably picking up the CPOs).

I had a guy stop me in traffice to tell me what an awesome car it was and to ask what the shark fin on the roof was for---I told him it was the special laser accelerator.
