Power's great as usual, but not feeling the look Feels like it's missing a bit of beef here and there.

Front of this whole generation is hideous.
Bulbous is the only word I can use to describe it.

THIS
I'm sure it will be awesome but its just not doesnt look "hard" enough.
Mind you its target audience is probably 50yr old executives with £££`s and this would not bother them.

They have traditionally not beefed them up. It's subtle. As you say it's designed for execs.

i would argue that the e46 m3 looks beefed up and special when compared with the rest of the e46 range.
this looks like an m-sport 5 series with an ///M exhaust.

Think I prefer the last one actually....This looks a bit too plain & deflated to be an ///M car!!

i prefer the last one but this one still looks good.
however, the front isnt great and the side profile looks more like a 7 series than a 5. but the back end is awesome and with that power i imagine thats the view most people will have of it

Looks like an M Sport, no bad thing. I think they are a massive improvement on the last 5 series

I agree it looks like a 7series. I saw an old 7, parke next to a new 5 and there was little size difference.
