I don't see much of a resemblance, just another 4-door sedan.

If you guys are interested in lookalikes, the pontiac was pretty striking. In the beginning, back in '04 I honestly mixed up the e60 for a pontiac when it was driving towards me.

Can any one answer this one to me? one of the pioneer of the "sharktail" BMW correct?

Anyone noticed the following?

BMW made the "sharktail" famous
Benz made the side mirror blinkers famous

BenZ CC (copy cat) the "sharktail" on their benz.

BMW responded by saying "..not us...we will not copy cat your side mirror blinker!--our cars are already cool without"


hey just a silly observation like always!
