Good looking car initially but I'd like to see some more photos.

And also the size?!?!?! What about people who do not want a large sedan but something between a 1er and a 3er? Instead of catering to a larger vehicle segment clientel focus on what made the e3/46 cars great. This is why I bought the 1M while BMW still made fun driving, small cars that weren't built to cater to a larger, different group of people. You are making BMWs like the Big 3 in the 70's (too big and forced to downsize after the competition already has... in case you don't know).

Yeah it really does in comparison to the hood/bonnet and it has nothing to do with the angle Scott.

5er is a great looking car IMO. Hopefully it'll drive as good as it looks.

I bet it will definitely be bigger, in both size and weight, than the e39 which is truly disappointing. Because what if you don't want something as large and need four doors??? Nothing.
