Replying to: beaming (Jun 21, 2005 11:47 am) The "E" numbers are BMWs internal codes to refer to a specific vehicle platform, so I guess I said it wrong before. Sorry about that. Anyway, the current E60 5-Series is a completely different platform from the ground up than was the previous generation E39 5-Series. The E60 5-Series has been/will be offered with a total of seven engines so far, and the E39 5-Series was offered with a total of seven different engines as well, consider the following:   E39: 1997-1998 -- 528i -- 2.8 liter I6 -- 190 hp 1999-2000 -- 528i -- 2.8 liter I6 -- 193 hp 2001-2003 -- 525i -- 2.5 liter I6 -- 184 hp 2001-2003 -- 530i -- 3.0 liter I6 -- 225 hp 1997-2001 -- 540i -- 4.4 liter V8 -- 282 hp 2002-2003 -- 540i -- 4.4 liter V8 -- 290 hp 2000-2003 -- M5 ---- 4.9 liter V8 -- 394 hp   E60: 2004-2005 -- 525i -- 2.5 liter I6 -- 184 hp 2006-2006 -- 525i -- 3.0 liter I6 -- 215 hp (same engine as in the 525xi) 2004-2005 -- 530i -- 3.0 liter I6 -- 225 hp 2006-2006 -- 530i -- 3.0 liter I6 -- 255 hp (same engine as in the 530xi) 2004-2005 -- 540i -- 4.4 liter V8 -- 325 hp 2006-2006 -- 550i -- 4.8 liter V8 -- 360 hp 2006-2006 -- M5 --- 5.0 liter V10 -- 507 hp   Best Regards, Shipo Replies to this message: beaming (Jun 22, 2005 3:18 am)

#528 of 728 Bangle & MB by jlbl Jun 23, 2005 (2:40 am)
This is just to underline the influence of Bangle design on other brands. Have you noticed it in the interior of the new M-B S-Series? I rather prefer that of my E60.   http://www.km77.com/marcas/mercedes/2005/clase-s/gama/med/30.jpg   Best regards, José

Replying to: m4d_cow (Jun 25, 2005 9:56 am) LOL, because the Japanese have been accused of ripping off BMW styling. Notice the new TL design has the groove that is goes along the line of the door handles.

The trunk of the new S class is like that of the 1998 Maybach concept.   1998 Maybach concept   Check out this ghastly BMW.   New BMW coming Replies to this message: kdshapiro (Jun 27, 2005 5:51 am) rich545 (Jun 27, 2005 5:56 am)

The new S-Class doesn't look like any vehicle from Japan INC, much less a ugly-duck Camry.   M

Replying to: xkss (Jun 25, 2005 6:05 pm) Thanks for the link. Love the look of the Bimmer. However the X5 looks a little boxy for my taste.

Replying to: xkss (Jun 25, 2005 6:05 pm) Wait, you do realize that isn't what the car will actually look like right? Did you read the article? That is just a cover put over the frame so they can test the car's handling. They call it a mule. It has nothing to do with what the car will really look like.
