Wow, since this thread was featured on the news page I thought there might be some interesting insights…

But no, it’s just page after page of nothing more than

“Looks like a Camry”
“No it doesn’t!”
“Looks like a Toyota”
“No it doesn’t”

Wake me when there’s some actual news, like somebody actually test drove one on real roads, and not just a couple of photos.

It's the best looking M5, I don't blame you. If you have a Cayenne, why step down.

The good thing about BMW presenting the new M5 is that it removed my hesitation in buying an M5 CS. Good job, BMW!

Careful now with your comments... The fanbois will jump you because you're giving your opinion... I wrote the following thread and made a mistake posting it on the M3 forum instead of here on the G90.

Take a look at the comments I received/still receiving. Some people are hilarious to the point were they will not accept someone's opinion because of the much Kool-Aid that they swallowed

Nobody just nobody in the HQ seems to say hey this is not our brand we can’t release this design, this is Kia, not bmw. I worked for a German company for a decade and this is a huge deal, Mercedes does follow this and still has some design dna left.

FML, what a joke it has all become now. Can’t buy a half decent BMW in 5 years time. And it’s more upsetting when we see more and more abominations being approved for production.

The American car companies have caught up and surpassed in design department, oh maybe they don’t need to sell in EU which is giving a grand excuse to build ugly cars in Munich.

See Instagram link of images from a patent of 2er

Honestly I don’t see that they gave you a particularly hard time in that two page thread. Mostly I think you were just ignored. I’m not sure what you are hoping to accomplish, you’re not a victim. And while I agree that the new 5’s are less special feeling than before, I also don’t want to read page after page of rabid rants and that if you don’t like it (which is totally you’re freedom to do so), don’t buy it. If you don’t want to buy it. Why are you still here? I stop reading/posting on car forums as soon as I determine I don’t want the car.

As per tradition everyone will complain about the design language based on the initial pictures and videos, but once there’s a few of them on the roads many people will back track on that opinion.

When the G20 platform first released everyone said the taillights made it look like a Lexus. G80 came out everyone hated the front grill, but it’s aged well now. What about well before either of those when they released huge grills on the X5? Don’t hear anyone complaining about that anymore.

I was unsure when I first saw the G90, but it’s grown on me. It could be worse…

I believe Poland’s per capita GDP has or is about to exceed that of the UK.

On the M5, it looks every bit of its weight. The compulsion to install extruded plastic pieces on everything, everywhere on these modern M cars is such a shame. Rear does have strong Camry vibes.

Really it's an M5e if they kept their nomenclature consistently.
