    It's been downhill since the E32

    I think that's true of the 3 and 5 series (designs going downhill!), but the 7 is by far the best looking out of the bunch now.

    I'd still go with the e34 hands downs for looks, modern cars just can't compare.

    Gosh, I wonder what the new era is all about. For crying out loud it's not that different from the previous model. If they were to follow the M1 Hommage trend, now that would be a new era.

    Well.... the kidneys are HUEG.

    Atleast they're slowly mellowing out the bangle-butt look.

    More M1 Homage into production please

    Since after the E38, IMO - It's like the E34/E34 generation car reincarnated.

    Yeah I was really warming up to the e65 e66 design and starting to appreciate the lines. Then they design a freakin Volvo.

    Dare I say.. I kind of like it. The cabin actually looks classy now. Hard to tell from the picture, but the materials LOOK to be finer (could just be some image trickey). Front looks a little weird.. and yes I see the Volvo.. but all in all I think its an improvement. What i'm really interested to see is the new 5-series (F10).
