If you ask me, if that's not a real photo, that's probably the closest thing to the what's likely to be the real thing that I've seen... 
I still like it!

"It will look smoother, too, with former design chief Chris Bangle?s controversial styling dropped in favour of a much more conservative shape."
Bad move IMHO. I don't like it.........

I like everything BUT the tail lights, a little too much like the 3 series to me. I don't mind the "family resemblance" of the belt line and headlights to the 3 series, but the tail lights is taking it a little too far. Still, it does look like a more natural evolution from the E39 styling than the E60 did. Historically BMW designs have been conservative, but the performance was there. I think we are getting a return to that philosophy.
