My Ride: 2008 Silverstone II E60 M5 2012 E70 AW X5 50i Sport w/ LCI Aero Kit and Rocker Panels
Exactly. See my first response. Too bad the kit won't be coming out until around the same time as the M5. I think they're going to lose a lot of sales because of this. I already know one E60 550i owner and old time member on this forum, that went to another model instead...

I'm not keen on the front end, but by no means do I think it's ugly. The M Sport will look awesome though, I'm sure! I will reserve judgement until that comes out, and I'll cast my vote then!!

The grills are hideous, the nose is partially due to European pedestrian requirements. A person has to be able to bounce off the hood if you hit them.
Stupid, years of aerodynamic testing and improvement thrown out the window for the "nanny state" Next every car will be required to be equipped with a giant pillow just in case some moron walks into traffic...

Front end of F10 = total mess !!! What is that pannel line across the top of the grill all about ? There are some very strange design elements on this car. I think I will wait 2 years for the first design revision so they will take customer feedback and make the car less for the designers and more for the customers.
First things they should consider:
-Revise interior dashboard that looks like it was designed by a carpenter
-More cubbies
-More trunk space
-Spare wheel

As for the moron comment, I'm not sure whether you have children, but those requirements are in part to help out the younger "morons" who maybe aren't quite as adept at crossing the street as you might be...
