I like the interior better.

BTW - NY Times did a review and published it on sunday, you can read it online.

Got a link to any pics of the interior?

I dont kn bout the front...

takes getting used to...i admit...but remember that BMW is all about the aggressive front look now. Its what everyone will look at in their rear view mirror when you pull in behind them. that being said, the high lines and the raised front end and the enlarged twin grilles make this thing look MENACING!!!! After a while..it grows on you!

I looked for one, right when I got to my apartment. But in Berlin, we usually do not have access to a lot of the 'good stuff'. Best I saw was a 6er for over ?800 to rent in the 3 days I need to have a car out here. I have to drive to Austria next week and I am going to do it in a VW Golf (for ?175), haha. It takes nerve to admit that publicly

While we all have different tastes, I am convinced there are almost no good looking cars today. Of course, I grew up with 57 Chevies, Fords, etc. And those cars did not break down; there were no options to break.
