@ottobong No need for me to fix it. I said "most" BMW cars aren't beautifully designed, in my opinion. And yes, the E39 5 Series (M5 in particular), Z8 and the M6 that Parker and Eddie reviewed back a few years when they shared the Vehicle Virgin Channel, are just about the only BMW designs I liked.
The Golden Age for BMW and Mercedes was between 1986 and 2001. In 1988 the first M5 was $50,500 the 528i under $30k; This 530i is almost $20,000 MORE than the original M5, and it has 20 less horsepower.Plus it is ugly, the New M5-hideeous.
It’s more unfortunate looking in person. BMW has lost its way over the past decade. I’m keeping my 2011 1 series…the last naturally aspirated inline 6 they offered with hydraulic steering. Old school!
Styling is so subject I don't see so much attention is put on the exterior and interior design although interior design is more important. Look at Lexus, I think their products are gaudy looking but people (mostly old) flock to them.
The interior needs to have physical buttons and different material choices, period. The capacitive touch and gloss back everywhere looks cheap on a vehicle costing this much.

The cars before were
I’m 80% with you😅. But I can’t lie that I do like this one, the X6, 7 and the XM😅😁.
Since the E39…fixed your comment lol

Also mercedes!
Meanwhile the M5 Touring will fix all of the flaws of this model except weight. Nice review. Clear and concise. Many thanks.
The old model it's looking much better!
0 to 1 makes sense. 0 means the tank is empty, 0.5 half full and 1 completely full.

I’m between this and an Audi S5
Compared with Audi A6, Mercedes E Class, Tesla Model S
I seem to be in the minority here, but I think it is a beautiful car.
What shoes does he have on ?
Looks like a Continental Eco(fuel saving vs performance) tire , not a performance tire!

BMW in a class of their own can't be compared with other automobiles all others try to copy driving dynamics performance

If it's ugly, buy it in black.
