    It does look a little weird. Maybe it's the headlights. But just because it's a BMW, I'd take one.

    I think I just urinated on myself.....

    Honestly, that's one of the best remarks I've ever heard anyone make - and even though I kinda like the One, I've gotta say, there's definitely some truth in what you said, bro. OMG, I've gotta go clean myself up.....

    I love it. It has a look of utility and pragmatism about it, compact and efficient. The roof line and the front facia are not 5 series intimidating but it's busness end; namley the wheels and suspension are set up perfectly. A wagon version would be nice. It's probably the least "ego-emitting" vehicle BMW has ever built.

    I would love it more with AWD and about 400hp.

    Actually I hate the look of the current 5-series (although I LOVED the old one). The front end looks great to me...very much like the M3. And I like the roofline pretty well, but I prefer the hatchback the Euros have.

    Common critism from BMW owners I know. They feel the new designs are a little ornamental and lack subtlety. I think they look great. Particularly the rear end. Now the tail lights integrate with the sides of the car. They also have a wider stance than the old 5 series. But that's why opinions are like aholes. Everyone has one.

    That's not entirely true. I love the new 3 series. It's just the 5 series, the 6 series, and to a lesser extent the 7 series (although the facelifted version is somewhat better). The Z4 is, well, not ideal...but not so bad either. It's better than the Z3. And the X3 and X5 designs are pretty nice.

    Anyway, it's not JUST that they're ornamental and lack subtlety. It's also that the old 5 and 7 series designs were classy, efficient, and muscular looking. The 5 series is just trashy looking, like some wannabe "gangsta" drew it in study hall. Probably a female one, because it sort of has a girly look to it. I actually read that BMW referred to it as "samurai inspired". Disgusting.

    I think the new 5 series is my favorite looking of all the BMWs. i just love the thing. i think it looks mean. And the old one, i didnt care for it AT ALL.

    Everybody hates on it, i just say "Give me a black 550i" 8)

    Europeans also pay almost 40 Grand USD for a base Rav 4 and if you convert the gallon and dollars they Pay 7.10 a gallon. ALso they deal with ridiculosly high taxes and a ton of speed cameras trust me, For a continent that makes such good cars it stinks that they cant drive them.
