My lovely wife who isn’t a car person has never once asked me about a BMW. The other day she sees the new 5 series and asks me all about it. Which lets me who who BMW targets now.

My mom drives a G60 540i xdrive and aside from its questionable looks at certain angles, the driving experience is close to perfect. Very lexus like, but is still composed and firm. Steering is very light but direct…B58 speaks for itself. I always wonder what a modern GS would feel like with 3.4 from the LS but with a more responsive tune. The current Mirai already looks imposing cruising down the streets of LA.

Been seeing more and more and it feels like the new ES followed with the flat surfacing, long overhangs and massive growth. It’s like the depth of the lines arw all gone. Stupid computers ruining things.
