At least Mercedes has the excuse for the EQ models that they’re designed in the wind tunnel first. This tho… you can’t tell me you made a car look like a Taurus or Accord for aerodynamics.

Yeah there’s not enough blacked out trim and side skirts to stop this from being a TaurasAccord

I remember when i bought my car in 2021, I thought to myself, the headlights on the X1 were so hideous that no one would buy it.

Well those ugly mf'ers wound up on the 5 series. Im at a loss for words.

Get yourself an eye exam stat !!

Other than four doors there’s nothing in common with a Ford Taurus. Let’s get real.

I knew JC Whitney was back, but did not realize they had become an OEM supplier for all these recent M accessories. Stick on aero, vinyl decals, anyone seen the M sport side window air defectors? Not sure what BMW had going on, but their designs and accessories lately lack any sort of cohesion.

M performance parts, what’s that phrase? Lipstick on a pig?

These are the lamest posts. They both have four doors, for wheels, and taillights. That’s about as far as the comparison goes. So bored with the design reviews that then real customers fork over money and make it all irrelevant. New 5, looks like a Honda, new XM, looks like an Aztec, new M2, looks like a whatever. Boring commentary with no value…

In about 6 months everyone will love it it’s new it’s different so it’s a shock but ultimately I think everyone should save their finale option till you see it in person most modern vehicles do not photograph well

It definitely gets old hearing the exact same negative comments over and over from some of the same forums members

Hmmmm.

This front angle is super awkward. The grills are now so overly styled it’s like 2 completely different and non complimentary shapes plonked on top of each other.

Like grill team didn’t talk to 5series fascia team until the final run.
