Great pics, boy that car has a big boozers nose on it !

I love the rear light clusters, hate the front light clusters.

Trunk space looks limited by over design and fussyness, wheel arches are a long way into trunk space.

Too many steering wheel controls, if you hands slip you'll reprogram the whole car !!

Hood close line across the radiator grill looks really messy.

Black guy presenting, what a dude ! I think I saw him in Las Vegas in the Summer performing with Eath, wind......and.......fire !

Will I buy one - yes ! but the touring / sportswagen.

I wonder if that door on the bottom left of the dash is storage or if it's a fusebox (or something else). If storage, seems like a neat idea and great use of space...

It's a storage compartment. It was on European (and ROW?) E60s, but not on North American ones due to some sort of requirement for extra knee padding. I was happy to see the compartment on a US 5GT, so hopefully it will make its way to the new North American sedan as well.

That is a storage compartment. It's the same on European 5 GT. I also have it on my European M Sport 5 sportswagen, it's a great cubby for phone, Ipod, change, etc.
