I really want to like this car since it will be an awesome driving machine & will probably outfiness any E class MB can come up with, but that styling just didn't grow on me at all.

The side slab is not appealing at all but at certain angles it looks good. I don't know, I'm still undecided until I see it in person.

Even a million may be understating it.

It's definately better than most other Bangle creations.
Certain details take getting used to but overall for the M5

The numbers don't hurt either - 500 HP V-10 - Think "Viper Power"!

OK....yes, the 5's I-Drive may not be as complex or asinine as the 7's, but they still need to toss that whole system out in the trash and go back to conventional controls. (Are you listening, Bangle?) Audi is about to make the same mistake.....I tried out their new electronic joy-**** control at the DC Auto Show and was not impressed with that either.
