Replying to: shipo (Aug 01, 2006 9:02 am) The E60 exterior is looking better, but the interior is still too sparse for me. I like my 2003 530i because of the classic lines and even though there are no "real" gauges, there are enough displays and buttons to make the dash & center console look nice.   Regards...JL

Replying to: shipo (Aug 01, 2006 9:02 am) If Munich would return to a driver oriented interior, I could see myself in an E60. I wish BMW would adopt a glass cockpit and allow you to choose the displays you want to monitor.

Replying to: div2 (Aug 01, 2006 12:03 pm) I am still not quite taken with E60. I think I actually like the facelifted 7-series better. I am thinking which would make more sense, trade the M5 in and get the new M3 (no more 529 contribution ), or turn my M5 into something like (probably for less):   Crazy M5 Replies to this message: cmybimmergo (Aug 02, 2006 2:04 pm) jb_shin (Aug 02, 2006 5:58 pm)

Replying to: jb_shin (Aug 01, 2006 1:35 pm) I agree...the facelifted e60 beats the original e60, but it still has that puffy steroidal look. The earlier generations are just so much more streamlined.   I also agree about the new 7...I recently came up on one from behind, and while my first impression (from far away) was that it was a bimmer, I didn't really believe it until I got close to it, because my reaction was "oooh what's THAT? I like it!" and I haven't ever liked the 7. Replies to this message: jb_shin (Aug 02, 2006 5:58 pm)

#13 of 46 2008 or 9? by lzc Aug 18, 2006 (8:49 am)
When is the next E60 expected? I'd read, somewhere on a BMW thread here, that a facelift was expected in spring 2007 as a 2008 model. But my barber had a car mag (sorry, didn't pay attention to which one) that featured the new 2009 model.

#14 of 46 New E60 or Hundai Sonata by low_ball_88 Aug 18, 2006 (9:53 am)
The picture of new E60 rear end reminds me of the Hundai Sonata...That is sooooo ugly! The front is like the new 3 series...Nothing special. The current E60 design (original) is still far superior, especially the way the headlights look. The NEW E60 headlights look chopped off at the ends.   I guess BMW is following the others (Lexus, MBZ, Infiniti) and have the line up of cars all look the same from the smallest to the largest vehicle. Just pick your size. How generic!   JMHO Replies to this message: designman (Aug 18, 2006 11:07 am) low_ball_88 (Aug 18, 2006 3:07 pm) warthog (Aug 19, 2006 2:13 am) low_ball_88 (Aug 19, 2006 4:33 pm)

Replying to: low_ball_88 (Aug 18, 2006 9:53 am) And the Sonata looks way better IMO. Thankfully those images of the 5-series that have been circulating are only illustrations and don't come from BMW. So let's not get our Fruit of the Looms in a twist just yet.   I think the exterior styling of the 3-coupe, X5 and 7 are improvements. Maybe the 5 will follow suit.
