so whats the projected MSRP on this badboy?
When the E60 debuted, the midline model (530i) increased by 8% in base price
over the E39, and that was when times were pretty good for BMW. According to
recent news, those good times might be changing (read last sentence):

I prefer the E60 above the F10 from what I have seen in these shots.
Are you guys all switchingfrom E60 to the F10 when it will be released?

In my opinion, the LCI of the 3 series of the early 2000's (dunno what "E" it is) were the best looking 3 series. I think the direction BMW is taking now is to every car have something awkward about it. I don't get the bulging hood of the new E92, or the huge kidney shaped grills of the F01, and while I think my 535 is perfect, the rear is weird when looked at from the side. I don't think this generation of 5ers is gonna be good at all, atleast from seeing the spy shots and the current trend of BMWs together. The pics we've been seeing the longest are the spy pics, but the rendering just seem to be much more radical than those. The spys look nice, the rendering make me lose hope.

Hold on, didn't they rumor a sedan and then a hatch kinda thing for the 5 series? I dunno if "hatch" is the proper term for it, but it was gonna be different and this rendering verifies that it could in fact be it. However, the spy shots say other wise, at least by the sedan-look of the car under the camo.
