pre-Bangle era... lol... i think a pinnacle of BMW at the time was E39, and the top of the line - E39 M5... they still can't get a better design - a well executed E39 (lowered, nice aero, clean paint...) still turns heads, 15 years after its introduction...

perfect "sleeper", could fool anyone at a traffic light - the "ricer" or the Corvette... untill they are all dumbfounded, watching the taillights disappearing on the horizon...
