well once again yet another in agreement on the first page-that makes 3. The snout is hideous, the hood contours are hideous and not aggressive at all and the dash/hood appearence is HUGE and agreed its like a low down SUV.
I feel the interior of the E60 feels more updated as it is very clean. I guess its a matter if you take care of the inside. Mine still looks/smells new. I wax/polish the inside trim panels and clean the leather/wheel with a toothbrush often. The steering wheel, even the sport wheel in the f10 is shitty compared to the nicely shaped ruthenium trim sport wheel in the e60-I think tis the best wheel ever made in design and just the right thickness.
Strike 3 for the F10-nobody is liking them. Remember back in the E60 days when it came out. People didnt like the looks but if any of you were around, everytime someone DROVE one-they LOVED it and had nothing but praise for it. Now adays more people dont mind the looks but drive it and hate it-that is just not a good sign. Its the biggest 5 series blunder by far and would not waste a dime on owning this OLDMANS car

That's why im still getting an E60 after this one...probably a 2010 model though. or 08 M5...haha.
Though Ive been craving some convertibles lately, I test drove a 2005 SLK 55 AMG the other day and fell in love with it. Really considering it.
