Car designers have told me that silver is ideal--white and black both tend to wash out in different ways. But kudos to the OP for providing these photos at all. It is very helpful to have both cars in the same color and angles.

I'm struck by how much wider the F10 looks from the front and rear. The main strengths of the E60 for me are the more aggressive front fenders and lower body.

Actually the pics don't tell the truth.

In real life you can very well see the shapes on both cars.

Actually, I was thinking that these pics do well considering that the cars are black. It's hard to get a good photo of a black car. I write reviews and take my own photos for them, and hate it when the test car is black or nearly black.

Here's the kicker. Put a modified E60 fully decked out next to an F10 with sport package and you'll say the E60 looks way better.
