next Gen 5 series
looks like a baby 7. Personally, I am not a big fan of the new grills - which started with the Z4. I much prefer the sleeker 3 series coupe grill.

It looks ok, I am not too crazy about that bull nose look, but anything is better than the current 5 series. BMW should phase out all the Chris Bangle designs as fast as they can.

I am anti BMW interior, one have to be 80 years old to find it attractive, and Audi's interior is world class. Go get some new glasses and some good taste, then come back and post again.

Every post I have ever seen from you is BMW bashing, all the guys on the UK Audi and Merc forums are all saying what a nice looking car it is, their not going to rush out and buy one, but they are all saying how nice it looks. I understand you have preference towards Audi and that is great.
But their interiors are hardly world class anymore, seriously, go and sit in a 5 series GT or new 7 series and you will see that Audi really do need to play catch up now, the quality in fit and how solid they feel have even got the Mercedes guys moaning about the new E Class now.
I don't get the comment about needing to be 80 to like the BMW interiors?? They are a hell of a lot younger and sportier than the Audis imho.
I have owned 6 of the current gen BMWs and they never felt old inside...
Wifes 320d touring...
Then 335i Touring...
My 535d sport touring...
My M3 CSL...
M3 that has just been sold...
This is the new 5 series....
I just don't how that is only going to appeal to people over 80????
You can spec it in all black with carbon trim if you want a younger look.
Plus BMW always offer so much better accessories and options, these are the performance seats you can add...
Then you can add a decent steering wheel...
Also carbon trim, short shift kit, ECU chip, straight through performance exhaust.
When I asked what accessories were available for my A6 I was told....
Roof rails
Fleece Jacket
Fake leather wallet
Key ring.
Hmmm, feel the power!!!
Of course a lot of that is tongue in cheek, but do you really see BMW as the old mans brand????
