Is it me or is this forum turning out to be the "Hey, Ive got bad news for BMW M Enthusiasts!! forum. So far, this seems to be the consensus :

1. The new five's design (interior and exterior) is mediocre at best.
2. The new six is apparently a GM design.
3. The newurrent Seven sells poorly and can be had cheap from a dealer.
4. BMW M is joining MB-AMG and the entire lineup will be SMG.

Really, the only good news is the new M5 engine - 550HP V-10 is awesome - too bad it won't get here for at least 2 years.

Honestly, does anyone see BMW having a competitive edge anywhere? I'm at a loss, MB beats us in HP and design.
