Kind of ugly...

 

[MrElussive]

It looks fine. I'm sure the final production version won't have black wheels or the different colored lower body moldings, though.

I don't think so... G35 looks like it is made out of plastic... this looks like it is made out of iron. I luv this car.

um

you do understand that the different color at the bottom, the black wheels and the stickers are there to prevent people from seeing the final product or the design?

 

[bmwrocks]

It looks exactly like the stock '04 530i, except dual exhaust, drilled rotors and wheel style (not color).

I don't see what that black tape could possibly be hiding.......

 

[sensesfail]

um

you think its there to make the car look better?

 

[DrWho]

You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear! The basic 5 series (the Dame Edna mobile) is damn ugly and sticking wider wheels and extra exhausts on it won't improve it's quirky design.

The New E60 M5 will actually have a 5.5l V10 producing 550hp with massive torque spinning at 10.000RPM. And a 7 speed SMG III will be available as a option.

Coeficient of drag 0.28 respectively 0.26.
Wheels and tire combination 255/35/ZR20 front - 295/30/ZR20

Electronic systems: (ABS/CBC/ASC/DSC/DTC/DBC)
Price will be around 120.000.00 euros. ($130.000.00)

Scary. Man, it will give the E55 AMG a run for its money. How does it match up to the viper? That much power and still comfy....

You know its my estimation that it really doesnt cost that much more for a 3.0 L engine vs a 5.0 and above engine. Provided that they are both mass produced, the actualy production cost shouldnt vary that much (like say twice the cost of a 3.0)

Whats your take?

I don'tlike the lines on the profile or the tail lights. I like the sleek classic lines of the non Bangle BMW’s. I do like the fact that it has cross drilled rotors. IMO they are one of the best mods for a car, rotor stays cooler which helps reduce brake pad wear and fade plus they look sweet.

Looks kinda dull to me actually, even the '04 5-series has more attractive styling than that.

Nuances of Honda Accord?

 

[slats]

Anyone else thinks that the back of the new 5 series looks really good in person but not in pictures?

I was next to a new 525 the other day and it just looks so sexy in real life.

 

[DrWho]

Anyone else thinks that the back of the new 5 series looks really good in person but not in pictures?

Nope. Looked just as ugly in the showroom as it did in pictures.

 

[William330]

It's pretty much just as ugly as the new base 5-series...

I haven't seen too many on the road, but I can tell you one thing - it definitely stands out. I don't like the trunk, but I love the high door lines - looks really good.
