Why does the 2011 5-series look like my wife's 2006 330xi?

Who's Peterson?
...your boyfriend perhaps? 
The only slow tool around here is you for responding to a post that was submitted almost 4 weeks ago!
You disappoint me, Diamond. I now have to give the "King F10 Troll" honor to Babken, instead.
By the way, it's technically a Twin-Turbo Inline 6 you dope.
Thanks for playing.

Peterson lost this battle and got feisty-he PM'ed me in frustration. A real original witty comment too--
"Can you do a favor for everyone at the F10 forums and just kill yourself? I would very much appreciate it"

The Three, Five and Seven are now essentially one sausage available in three sizes...
The F10 is a good looking car, there's no doubt - I just wish it were a little more distinguishable from its siblings. You can bet your bottom dollar that the F30 is going to be a slightly smaller F10.
Still, BMW clearly felt that it had to be more conservative with the design and it's working out. Sales are good, the design isn't polarizing like the E60 and it is a design which is modern, clean and fresh. I will say that for me the only real design issue is that it looks so much like the Seven. I just wish it stood out a little more.
Then again, I drive a car which looks like it's 40 year older brother so what do I know

Pete, surely you didn't think that Diamond could be reformed did you? A guy can be banned multiple times but it is not going to change who he is or is not.

Peterson continues to PM me nasty messages and you all think I have a problem? Think about it. What kind of grown man gets so frustrated on an internet board and starts harrasing a "troll" with incessant private messages! And you think I am problematic

diamond, you're not problematic. you don't really add or detract from any conversations. you're just annoying and people get frustrated because they either a) have to constantly scroll past your messages, or b) realize that if they just ignore you, you'll get louder and louder and more irritating.
you, diamond, are the distracting trumpet.

If I am just a small distraction why would Peterson take the time to send me now 3 different threatning PMS telling me to die. ? Sounds like he is unstable. Peterson you may want to take anger management classes or see a shrink to restrain your emotions

My "personal" opinion is that the E60 is a better looking car then the F10. It is more defined, smoooth(not a misprint)and the panels have integrity, flow if you will. The F10 is the medium sausage. I had an 08 335i and can see similarities. Again just my opinion.
