Not too wild about the changes... I have been considering a 530 for about a month now and came close to poping for one today...
I guess If they are going to look like the above I'd better act soon

i agree, total photoshop action there.

the 5 series hasnt had the amber on the tails since 00 and the first pic is a M5 with the magic touches added to it. notice the license plate and how the body kit is like an M5.

gavrill has been had.

wow that is disgusting, no redeeming qualities about it, and it has no chance of being good looking in person, unlike the Z4.

Then again it is hard to mess up a roadster.

I tell you what, I've always been a BMW fan but now I'm starting to wonder what is going on with all these ugly designs.
