Seriously, it looks like a fat 3 series, not that there's anything wrong with it.......
Not per se, but I think the E60 set the expectation that the design of the 5er should be unique and set it apart from the rest of the offering. Not just a bigger car.

I know it's being blamed on EU pedestrian safety standard, but the new A6 and S-class still have an aerodynamic front, so I don't know what BMW was thinking there...
I'll hold on to my E61 and I bet it'll still look more modern than the F10 when the 7th-gen comes out!
This is exactly my sentiments... EU safety but why does Audi and MB still do their thing while BMW has to do the uber-pedestrian thing....? Looks are suffering because of it.

Here's my beef with people criticizing the new 5 and saying it's 'plain' and not 'ground-breaking' like the E60.
No need for beef. It's a forum where your opinion is just as valid as the next person.
