On the one hand, you have one blinded person (which I've never heard of one) with may be an accident, but at least it would have startled him so that he braked. The accident would likely be a minor one. On the other hand, if you didn't see it coming, what do you think would happenned? hard. Take your pick.

Option 2 is the less likely scenario, by far. I don't think anyone ever complained about not being able to see non-led brake lights - they are certainly more than adequate.

Ok, great, now the E60 looks even angrier. Is it going to bite me if I wear a mismatching tie tomorrow? The taillight LEDs are a nice addition, but the rear end didnt get a much needed liposuction. I don't like the way the heated seats and other optional controls such as DSC buttons (I call this the "option row" hehe) are all stacked up now. The Lane Departure system is unneeded and represents how BMW is really not making a "Driver's car" anymore, but rather a mainstream luxury car. I say

I still think the E39 was the best looking BMW sedan ever. The E46 may be my favorite overall, but in terms of looks, the E39 5-series looks mature, subtle, yet attractive in its own way. I miss the good ol' days

I like the 5-series touring (wagon) better than the 5-series sedan. In fact, the M5 Touring looks AWESOME!!
