Default Link to several new BMW 5 series pics.

I apologize if this has been posted before but thought you might be interested in seeing how ugly the new 5 series really is. As ugly as the exterior is, the interior is even uglier.<ul><li><a href="http://das.doit.wisc.edu/bmw/e60/images/finland_prelaunch/finland_prelaunch.html">E60 5 series</a></li></ul>

I think BMW is back to being BMW! Unemotionally designed cars that perform extermely well. I really do think that they make the ultimate driving machine. Oooops did I say that on the Audi board? Truth is, my 02 M5 was the best handling (razor-sharp) ride I ever had. Did I look back after parking it to admire its design? No! I do that with my Audi. And don't tell me the RS6 beats the M5! I haven't driven the RS6 yet, but a car that needs TWO turbos to perform doesn't... I can't say that!

Default You're right...the interior is HORRIBLE. Very Japanese, in my view.

Steering wheel looks Saab-ish (NOT a good thing).

Dash lines are just plain goofy.

6-speed is the only nice item in the photo!

Actually, it reminds me more of a Renault or Peugeot . . .
