How exactly? I think this looks classy, aggressive, and modern at the same time. Wider arches, big diffuser, big air intakes.

It's a mix with F90 and E60 (which is the most boring M5)

A 500hp N/A V10 with a clutch pedal is boring?

Talking about the looks in this case. Not about the engine which blows up Only different fenders, exhaust, and wheels are different from standard. Other than that, mostly neutral-looking sedan/touring.

I think it looks pretty good. Will likely be a hit for the targeted buyers.

I like the looks of it. I hate what they have done in terms of powertrain and weight.

Me too, it's way to wide / heavy and just not what I would call good design, I will stick with the F90 thanks and say a bundle of cash.

I think they bet on the wrong colour and it’s a bit concern

I’m not against EVs but I am against governments forcing them on EVERYONE
We’re seeing too much of this now, not just cars, replacing gas boilers, smart meters to name a couple more

This is such a pivotal time. Ie as regards the future of the car
Do not despair ICE cars are here to stay for many more years to come EV's are going be long forgotten in 5 years time and all but worthless too.

I think EV’s are here to stay in some form, but it doesn’t seem like they’re going mainstream anytime soon.

Agreed. We’ll all be driving them someday, just not anywhere near as fast as some people want us to.
