I’m getting to the point ima start throwing old fruit at all these ugly cars when they drive by 🤣🤣

Hey BMW, build this and we'll forgive some of your blasphemous designs 🤣.

I like the Supra better still which is a successor of the Z4 E86. I like the Z3 E36/8 very much too, but the fastback is preferred.

BMW Almost Gave the New 5 Series the Same Big-Mouthed Face as the 7 Series

BMW tried a vertical kidney grille on new 5 Series as well.

Regular BMW 5 Series V8 Models Are Dead, Return in M5 Uncertain

V8 BMW 5 Series are dead after more than 30 years. But there may be an exception: the M5.

Get the outgoing M5 CS while you still can…

It is good news they are dead. Levels the playing field with Lexus ES and IS.

There will still be a high performance M560i with the B58+phev, and the M5 will retain V8+phev. Granted, it will be significantly heavier as a result.

Will there be an immediate redesign?

Will there be an immediate redesign?

The redesigned M5 was spied in January of last year for the first time, and judging past M5 debuts, should debut in around 8-9 months? Though, it's already in it's production body form, so maybe a closer debut date towards the end of the year.

Also note that for the first time in the M5 lineup, it has widened rear fenders.. leading me to thick BMW M knew themselves the regular 5er's rear is too soft and tall, the wide fender should improve the looks significantly I think.

When you don't compare it to the Accord, the 5-Series is not that bad... It'll be fine...

Bro this thing looks like a Kia before it catches fire. I’ll wait for final judgement in person but i’m looking at this monstrosity outside the hotel and want to sue for battery of the eyes.

I very much agree. Looks like a larger styled Forte

The point i’m making is they are all awful. Absolutely awful. And I LOVED bmw design.

The Audi A6/S6 looks like a greek god in comparison.

"Good" is doing some Atlas-level lifting in that sentence.

I saw the new 5 Series. There is nothing specially ugly about it, but I can’t think of a blander looking car. And proportion are off, because of battery pack.

They had to make the M5 Touring when the 5 Series looked good. Now it is ugly, no M5 Touring will save it.
