Sexy Back
 

Is it just me or every one finds the back of the X5 4.8is ....sooo sexaaay..

I had it parked next to the X5M and I still prefer the back of the 4.8is to the x5m, the front def x5m (for that matter E70, i love the front)

Yeah I love the ass end of the 4.8. The front I'm torn on, I like both, the E70 def looks more streamlined though.

Isn't 4.6 and 4.8 ass the same? I love it also!

Yes, they are:thumbup: Big rear tires + big ASS=:wow:

yup - that's what I think everytime I come home and see mine in the garage!!

The rear of the E70 look like Chrysler pacifica.....LOL

Honestly, I think the rear end of all the E53's is what makes it look dated, regardless of lips, spoilers, and pipes.

The rest of the car is keeping up incredibly if not surpassing aesthetically many new model SUV's . But that backside just does not cut it anymore.

I think it's the square taillights on the trunk lid. And the generally boxy bumper and upper hatch.

4.8is butt = WIN.. No SAV (not even Msport or X5M) looks better. The 4.8is looks (is) lower, better stanced, and more "muscular" than the others.

I agree. A good straight on, non-setup to look good, solid shot of the rear is nothing special.

4.6is looks the same:stickpoke. Actually, Estorial Blue is the best color IMO.

o.l.t, is that 18" wheels on it? 19" looks little wider & so is better. So here comes conclusion, wider wheels=better look. Do you guys think that IS bumpers will look good on 19" wheels Staggered + Spacers?

:stickpokeEstorial blue, Nik?

Do you guys have that colour over there, while we have Estoril blue over here? ;) :nanana:

Well - you are certainly entitled to your opinion. Even if it is wrong :D

I love this rear...

On the way back from a weekend trip, wife and i were discussing all the merits of the E53, looks being one of them. the boxyness and straight lines i believe to be one of the best parts about the way it looks. This is also the reason why I love the MB G-class, one day...we will own a G500, or an AMG G55. I would take an E53's looks over the newer ones right now.
