You know depends on the angle. From some angles it does look as big as the E34 5er.

The exhaust sounds more raspy than the e90/92's. I got a kick out of Frankenstein getting out of the back

Guess the big fat guy is the "muscle".... looks like it can be a promising car. I like the direction of the new 5 series and 7 so I can't see BMW messing this one up.

What are those big round thing on top of all the cars??

Actually the exhaust to me sounds *exactly* like my E92 with the flap disabled.

I was thinking the same thing.....I can't wait for the car to make its way to production. A couple years into production, I should be looking for lease return F30's and hopefully, this time in xdrive format. :-)

He was merging. If he was perpendicular to the road he was going to drive onto the he'd have his right blinker on

I was wondering if they are using the fat guy in the back for weight distribution studies;

to try to record and decide where to put the center of gravity for effective performance handling

One thing is certain, 6 foot 250 Lbs fit fine in rear))
