    I like it and an M class is about what is not seen but represented via performance.

    Love it. I remember when you could barely tell if a car was an M and didnt have over the top bodykits and badges (seriously, count how many or on the current model)? I like the "sleeper" look alot more.

    I don't like the trend towards the bigger kidney grill.

    Looks like I can return to lusting after M5s. I love the E39 but the E60 just fell flat for me. IMO, this is a return to the glory days.

    Much better looking than the one they previously built. I still don't like the scalloped out door lines though.

    So it looks like BMW has copied, almost exactly, the Ford Taurus fender vent and door line for the new M5!! :eek:

    I suppose nobody cared about the X5M and X6M since they are trucks, but this definitely marks the end of an era - the first BMW M car with a turbocharged engine rather than a highly tuned normally aspirated engine, usually with individual throttle bodies (US E36 M3s being the exception to the ITB rule).

    Is the 'stop-start' option even offered for N/A Bimmers at this time?

    ... but similar. If the crease ran through the door handle, it would be alarming.
