Never really liked the rear-end of this gen 5 series; it's not bad, just never warmed up to it for some reason. Rest of the car is well done, IMO. The new headlights don't do much for me, good or bad.

Both of our cars have the 10.25" screen which seem adequate for the job and the way it sits on the dash. I guess bigger is better these days.

New Highlander is 12.3” And class leading. Seems like everyone is trying to fit the largest screen possible.

agreed!!! but I love the zero chrome.....problem is, there's too many other cars I'd rather have for M5 money (or less).

The current 5 series still has the old interior design language and this M5 refresh didn’t really update the interior- this is why the bigger screen looks tacked on.

cracked me up, I am with you. It almost looks very good compared to the new in your face grills. I like the red too..I wish car companies get off the bandwagon of black wheels. Seems like every car has them these days
