Just saw the new 5er

[Viperfreak2]

One of only two on display in the US, it looks so much better in person than in pictures! Long and low, very rounded. In pictures it kinda looks like a big 3er or small 7er. I think this is just about the perfect BMW. This car is on display at the Spartanburg plant, so if you take a plant tour today or tomorrow, you can see it. Wow

Plant tour or Zentrum?

Plant tour. The car (and a 5GT) are on display in the K-platz.

Schön. Given how I've been impressed by the 7er, I hope the 5er can follow in its footsteps of comfort, elegance, and efficiency.

It's definitely going some time getting used to it. When the E60 came out, I thought I would never let my E39 go. I hated the E60. However, over time it grew on me and now I look at the E39 and think it's so dated.

I think with some nice wheels, M-Tech kit and some shadowline trim, the car has potential. However, at this point, I am not a fan. Time will tell, but then again, I'm planning on going right into the F10 M5 when that becomes avail in a couple of years, so I guess I better start liking it. Hahahaha!
