This chassis definitely needs a rear boot spoiler!...and IMHO, no new Gen 5-Series should leave the factory without a Rear Spoiler!! ijs

I don't think the crease on the driver's door works, reminds me of the 'pig line' on the one series and overall I wonder how they'll make the M5 look good... The last generation M5 kinda needs a new/updated look but I just don't see it in the current design, fingers crossed....

looks like the stripe is an m performance option to me so there isnt much to worry about there.

outside of the square on the grille which makes me uncomfortable for some reason lol this is a good looking electric car imo

Very rarely do I find the "old model" to better looking in most cars, but I just cannot find anything about the G60 exterior that I find to be an improvement/better looking/handsome.

The G30 is definitely the highwater mark. At best the G60 is just "different"...but not really in a good way.

Ok.... i'm gonna say it. I LIKE it! The silver M60 looks great. The white one with performance parts looks terrible.

I'm upset because I know BMW had improved many things (drivetrain, interior quality, etc.) compared to 5, 10, 20 years ago... but they've done more damage to the brand I once loved than I can accept.

I simply do not see myself owning a newer BMW ever.

Love that little Mini. Now there's a characterful car—still—for our supposedly progressive era of monochrome bloaters.

I know this is a joke, but sadly they will be 17" or 18" wheels and the G60 is just gigantic which makes them look tiny.

BMW's new designs, single handedly keeping the producers of gloss black body panels in business.

It’s funny when they decorate it with performance parts—-it’s like putting a spoiler on the roof of a house!

This looks worse than the e60 5 series.
