the m5 concept needs to be more aggressive looking i think.

that interior is way too busy, and honestly, i can't stand any of the new bmw models.

Bangle got promoted off the design floor. Unfortunately he's still employed by BMW, he just won't have a direct say on future designs. It will probably take 10 years to "correct" his designs, though.

come on guys...it looks nice...the rear end might need a bit of work but the front does look evil...

i wouldnt have cared if they kept the old body style and just changed the engine, but i have no complaints with the new design either

i have seen a few 545's on the street and their pictures do not do them justice...at night the front end looks evil with those head lights...its just plain sick...

too bad the new 5 isnt very photogenic...

Score

Bangle single handedly destroyed any respect I held for BMW cars. From now on, all I think when I see a BMW is "WHY?"

Thanks Bangle! You rat bastard.

My sister has a 2002 M5, and I honestly think hers looks quite a bit bolder than the new one. The only thing I don't really like that much about the concept is how the headlight narrows as it swoops around. aside from that, it's pretty cool looking.

Admit it, every one of you would trade your EVO for it in a heartbeat!

im sorry, but everyone hates the new designs, i have to disagree. Ok, im not saying they are better looking then the current ones (02-03) i think those are the best looking ever, but these new ones arent that bad, they are an extreem new look without being toooo extreem. I personally love it. And that new M5 looks sick.

at first the design looks odd, and gets you to say 'eww', but it grows on you. living in Greenwich i see pleannnnty of BMW's around, and after driving around them allll the time they actually do look better in time, just gotta get used to it i guess.

A dark 5 series in low-light conditions does look good, because the abscence of light hides all the hideous styling "features" of Bangle's warped mind.

I've always felt that if a design has to grow on you for you to like it, it wasn't very good in the first place.

I hear that from a lot of Z4 owners - "it was ugly at first, but it's growing on me..." It's nothing more than rationalizing a buying decision.

I am sure it is a great car! But I liked the look of the 2002-2004 M3's and 2000-2003 M5's better. YOu could do more to them as far as adding your own style to them. Ohh and the new M5 is even heavier, I don't know if they can get it to handle as well with all of the extra weight and size, it is now really a big Big car, bigger than the 7 series of the early 90's! LOOSE THE FAT BMW!


I AM LOOKING FORWARD THE THE NEW 1 Series COMING OUT!

i guess your right about that, the rationalizing a buying decision. I can see how alot of people say that. But i still personally think its cool looking, like i said, not as good as the previous model, but looks cool.
