This morning when i was getting into my E90 3 series, I just glanced on my Sport 5. It just looks like a pure race inspired sedan. The wheels, the low profile tires (factory though), side fenders, rear lights just all said one thing "I am very capable".

While the garage door closed, i looked at the reptalian eye lids and they just absolutely looked monstrous.

Just wanted to share my thoughts.

I think the E60 is the best looking BMW ever made.

Maybe that's a bold statement, but older BMWs are mostly square boxes. Of course, the E46 coupe ranks very high there...

I have to say that I prefer the E61 over the E60 (having spent 4 years in an E60 SE and just got an E61 MSport a month ago).....I know that "wagons" aren't that popular in the US, but I much prefer the look of the E61 back end. Mind you, I was an early E60 adopter and like the back end of that too - I just think the E61 is the best looking wagon on the road - especially the MSport version.

Of course, I may be a little biased.....
