Looks are subjective but the front needs some acquiring. I drove this exact car a few weeks back and its actually not bad in person. Boy does it sound good and I love the way the car roars from a launch. I always felt the F10 and F13 (owned both) cars lacked sound and this car kills it in that category.



We know that the E63 will run away from the M5 from a dig, but how about from a roll? Does it really feel that much faster?
There is no sedan on the market which will pull away from an M5 on a roll.
