    It looks a bit contemporary Volvo in the first pic. A bit Geely or Brilliance in the third pic.

    I like Volvo's nose on Volvos. Not really a fan here. Not terrible, but akward.

    @shakes: The XK's sleek and low slung nose says the pig snout is entirely a device of BMW's making.

    Looks like there's something a little bit Bentley about the nose.

    @weatherman: You're right... it's the way the top part and upper corners are shaped, innit?

    In pic 3 - it's got a bit of a snarl going on, it seems. Wonder if the performance can back that up.

    I saw one in the streets of Munich with very minimal camouflage a couple of months ago. Not a terrible looking car in person, but from my perspective, it looked almost as big as a 7-series.

    As with any new BMW, it's ugly, but should sell well to all the fashionistas.

    @UDMan: The outgoing model is one of the ugliest cars available today in the NA market, so pretty much anything is an improvement.

    ...and yeah, it will sell, because it's a 5er.

    @UDMan: I will agree that the last generation wasn't pretty, but sometimes, I just don't care what the car looks like on the outside if it drives the way the company 5-er drives.

    This new one does look better so far, though.

    If I can ever find that pattern of contact paper I'm:
    1.) Re-covering the shelves in my kitchen.
    2.) Playing a cruel joke on my hippie friends.
    3.) Making a fake M3 ala. Winding Road's Blue Devil.

    Hard to tell from this shot, but I think this looks a bit more E39-like than the last one. Which is a good thing.

    The shape is nice, but it just looks "fatter" than the BMWs of old. I realise that they couldn't go back to that deadend of design, but I feel, from what I can see, this design is neither adventurous nor classically beautiful enough. Bangle may have polarised people, but he had a mojo. Here's hoping I'm wrong, and this is as sweet as the new Z4 (even though I prefer the old Z4's style, it was a madness of surfaces that might well be considered art).

    Very aboriginal.

    Against a non-architectural background, this is really a dangerous paint scheme. The car damn near disappears.

    The long near-fastback roofline is nice, it's good for aero but I bet they're sacrificing rear seat headroom to the mighty and terrible Style Demons.

    Honestly, you don't have to include a picture with any upcoming BMW model. No matter how it looks most everyone will say how much they hate it, and the only respectable models were the E39 5 series or the E 30/36 3 series.

    That pic reminds me of something I've always wondered about BMWs - what is that little square cutout on the left side?

    @MrSpyder: Right on. They extend out about 6" and have a little tow loop in them. I think Mercedes and Lexus do it that way, too.
