Title: M5 Heritage where?
Comment: How does the new M5 even continue the BMW M-car lineage? Just look at the photo above comparing E28, E34, E39 and the new abomination. There's no family resemblance. Whatever happened to an aggressive design with well-executed exterior and interior worth salivating about? This new Japanese-crowd-pleaser freak-of-nature car is adorned with far too many offensive lines and creases and the interior seems to be taken from a Buick. One can only hope the M5 after this one will be better looking and designed (iDrive anyone?). Till then, I'm holding on to my E28 M5. </rant>
