If you think about it the E60 was the exception. The M5 has always had an understated look. Now it's just going back to that.
THANK YOU! Somebody finally gets it...the E60 was such a departure in tstyle that the E60 M5 would have looked aggressive no matter what. All 5 series prior to the E60 had toned downed "German" styling, which meant that the M5 variant would be like adding a little dash of color to a black business suit...not like the zoot suit E60 M5
