I absolutely hate the way the E60 looks. However, it went around the Top Gear test track in 1:26.2, that's .2 faster than the Exige, .6 faster than the C6 Z51 Vette and Ferarri 575 GTC, and .9 faster than the Aston Martin Vantage. Having the fastest four-door car is one thing, having a four-door that can air out some of the world's best sports cars is rather EPIC (as Clarkson would say).

I love my E60. The programable iDrive and other features are interesting. I like the way they look better than that ugly *** E39.

Yeah I despise the way the new M5 looks... they wrecked it, aesthetically.

You wish your E39s/A4s were as nice as the E60

Yeah those pictures do nothing to change my opinion of it... in fact, it looks better in motion, and I don't like it then, either.

The chromish things that are on the top of the headlights are rediculously gross. I mean, it's a fast car, and I'm sure it's crazy to drive... but its fugly.

Still doesn't hold a candle to an RS6 in my opinion.

The car lost it's styling when it adopted the Dame Edna headlights.



The back end is way too soft too.

SilverSeven's M5 looks fierce. This E60 looks like a bastardized (albeit it very, very fast) Toyota.
