keep in mind by the time they test it and give it a thumbs up for production it will be 6 years

The F10 is due out in Europe in March of 2010, with U.S. sales to follow a
few months later. So the 7 year timeline is still on track.

The E60 is a milestone design. It will stand as such for years to come. Most modern cars resemble a block of clay that dropped of the table. The E60 has some many new details that simply makes it different, interesting and beautiful to look at.

If you want rounded boring shapes buy another german brand that starts an A Sorry

everyone said that about the e39

the e39 is a classic.. especially with sport kit/m5look.
This current e60 grew on me..and its superb at certain angles.. and the m5 is just *$^*^@*&@ beautiful!

so.. expect the same to be said every year about these cars.

BMWs are great so its expected for people to kinda cling on.

The day BMW puts a turbo(s) on an ///M car is the day the ///M division loses it's soul, no matter how much power it gives. M cars have always represented NA smaller block engines tuned to the limits.

Too late. Sounds like you've never driven a well done, boosted package before too. Sticking with an NA powertrain leaves BMW behind the curve. NA motors are not able to keep up, plain and simple-Nissan, Ford, Chevy, Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, and others all employ boosted applications in their highest-performance models.

Change is goooooooood.....
