If you look at all of the photos of the test mules, the trunk line has a steep slope upwards towards the rear glass...it definitely looks more fastback than traditional sedan profile...kind of awkward, but I'll reserve judgement until the reveal... |

It’s alright. Nothing crazy, nothing terrible. Just kind of there.
Obviously this doesn’t necessarily represent the M sport or the full M version, but I sure hope those iterations add a lot more aggressiveness to the next gen 5er.

It seems like it has a lot of 2023 Honda Accord styling cues. Cars beginning to look alike coming out of a wind tunnel?

I'm not a fan myself... but I will say that my i4 has less scratches in/around the handle than any of my previous cars (X7 included, and I have only had the current one for 3 months longer than the i4). Not from me, but the ladies in my life tend to have nails/rings/etc., and the cups behind the handles have been a bit of a mess... so there's at least some practicality behind it.

I’m hoping it’s just an awkward angle because I’m seeing that too and not a fan of it.

This is still the same platform that the new gasoline based 5 series will be on. They still need the large front end to, yes, fit the engines in there.

I did not admire the door ding an elderly woman left on the car though, luckily it's small and should be an easy repair. |

Awkward angle? The design and proportions are fucking awkward.
All this controversial shit that BMW keeps swinging is starting to feel like a really bad trip on shrooms. Make it end please. 😵‍💫🫤 |

I like what I see so far and it makes me worried because if an M5 Touring comes to US there are some big and painful decisions I may need to make!
