I knew someone would say that but in fairness it was a very nice event and taking pics of the car and /or the hostess would have been in poor taste ...............

Yup !! Kinda has me wondering if they can inspire a great F10.................I'm really starting to move towards sitting on the fence , the new GT really doesnt grab me , .....................especially the tail lights , which are very similar to the new 7 ..................hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :blink:

BMW has gone conservative. After the e60 BMW got too cautious. Since other manufacturers copied BMW's Bangle aesthetic, the new dumbed down BMW design approach looks like every other wanna be BMW out there. The upcoming new 5er looks rather bland.
