Call me a pessimist. But the way the new 7 series and that ugly duckling 5 series GT look, I really doubt that the new fiver will look better than the E60. I'm sure it will likely drive better and have a better interior but externally, Hmmmmm.
I sure hope the F10 M5 looks sexy since thats what I'm dreaming about!!

Exactly! I almost kept my E39 after seeing the E60 in 2004, but now when I see an E39 (outside of the E39 M5), I like my E60 so much more.

What's up with you guys?
Fact is, that the looks of the new F10 are unknown.
The tech will at least be very interesting...
From TT V8's to some very environment friendly cars.

My Ride: 2005 545i with everything
I hated the E60 when it came out. Now I love it. It was aggressive and different. My concern is the new one is going to be milquetoast, boring, not engaging, not offensive but not bold at all. Like the new 7.
