My Ride: 07' 550i sport; Sapphire Black/Auburn; sport package; steptronic; navigation with R.T.T.I.; heads up; cold weather package; Logic-7; BMW MOST ipod kit; Motorola V3 snap-in adapter; rear heated seats and rear shades; anthracite headliner; sirrius sat. radio; M-aero kit; OEM style 166 Wheels with 245/35-19 front and 285/30-19 rear Michelin PS2s.

Love the engine. Absolutely love the interior and unique functionality. Love the xdrive option.

Cannot picture a man driving this car solely because of the rear end. Its so effeminate. Same category as a VW Cabrio in this regard. The hatch is just nooooot masculine at all.

Anyone agree?

I love the X6, so I'm not opposed to the concept, it just doesn't work on the 5GT.

Agreed. The styling of the 5er GT is weird, mostly due to the rear end design. I'd rather have the F10 wagon when it comes out.

It looks like the BMW version of the Pontiac Aztek to me... But the front end styling is driven by the pedestrian safety standards and has to be more upright than previous versions so it's for a good cause.

If only the rear wasn't so awkward since the rest of the car is gorgeous I think. Dont understand why anyone would pick this over the touring which looks beautiful so far from the spyshots.
