Death to Chris Bangle. What's the word I'm looking for? Ummmm.....FUGLY!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, that's it! Although in all fairness, I thought the new Z4 was heinous in pix but it looks pretty damn good in person. I just hate that BMW - advertised as an 'engineering first' company for years is now dominated by an American Stylist with the aerodynamists relagated to the corner. Pathetic IMHO

I am sure you not the only one that believes this whole
turnyourheadtocheckblindspot method, but in reality, it is a very bad habit, especially in heavy traffic when sudden stops occur. You gonna rear end somebody if you gonna turn your head to change lanes.

Personally, I think Beltfed consistatnly makes some of the most informative posts on this board. I for one thought his review was pretty good. Seeing that only one person has actually seen this car in person, eveyone else is just spouting off opinions and speculation based on nothing more than a couple of mag pictures at this point

What the FECK?! How many engines do they need?! 
Turbo inline 6, turbo 2L 4banger, current 2.5 3.x 3.35,4.tfdzd0245j
What the hell? Sounds like a bunch of guesswork by whatever mag site you found that news in. I call BS on all that engine crap.
They only need like 2-3 engines max in the 5series: one for the low end, one for the regular, and one for the M5.

Beltfed doesn't waste anyone's time when he posts b/c his posts are always making either a valid point or letting us Cl'ersknow about something new in the world

I thought I made valid points why the review was shitty. Read up on my previous post.
I never said that I everyone should buy the 5 over the E class. So I dont think that comment is directed at me. However, wait till the final 5 comes out b4 you make blanket statements such as that.
As far as the review, it all depends on the source. Anyone can write a good or a bad review, but if I am gonna trust it, I hope it comes from someone credible, and I dont think that guy is very credible. I stated why I believe his opinion is discounted in this case.
