I'm not sure what to think. The original press pics are still totally underwhelming and the car looks bland and awkward. The brochure shots, on the other hand, make it look fantastic. My current impressions:

The front end is not elegant and doesn't flow with the rest of the car. It doesn't exactly scream luxury or performance from this angle. The photoshop that darkus posted is amazing and really proves to me that the only part of the F01 that BMW totally f***ed up is the front bumper.

The rear end, while generally attractive, doesn't share any cues with any other BMWs. It lacks expression, and as others have mentioned looks a lot like the LS460's rear, sans the Lexus's attitude.

The interior is nice but nothing special. It looks well-built and it looks significantly nicer than the 3 and 5, but it can't match the A8 or S-Class.

Overall, it has a brilliant powertrain but it's not making me want one.

Nice improvement, I generally like it. Usually takes me about a month to 'love' the new designs. Some amazing technical feats in the added text!!

What do people think about the kidney grills though. I'm all for them getting a little larger. However for some reason I just like the ones that rise with the bonnet and thus the bonnet is just one single piece. New 7 and X1 have that 'gap' above the kidney grills...just not as tidy. Small detail.

Amazing interior....period!

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
It looks nice, now if the price was $50,000 less it might be worth buying.

I bet that over 50% of the people posting negative comments will never buy one (afford one).

The new S-class with its big wheel arches looks too much like Ford focus.
