UK Autocar's E60 pictures

[MichaelJP]

Anyone UK based see their computer renderings of the E60? Can someone with a scanner post it up?

They looked far better than the R&T ones posted in another thread, despite having similar features. It looks really good to my eyes, and I don't think much of the new 7.

The question is, is it down to the computer rendering, or is Autocar's picture a truer representation of the new 5? If it is, maybe Bangle's been reined in, after his excesses with the X-Coupe and the new 7.

OK, I've managed to find a scanner and upload it, so here it is for your perusal:

looks pretty good... but doesn't really look like a sedan though... it's shaped more like a 2 door sports car with 4 doors....

Reminds me of the old Celica 'aligator' posture. Lacking the 'bourgeois' air of sophistication like the E39. Expression looks a bit sleepy/lazy. But less controversial than E65.

Obviously there still is hope - things are starting to look better all the time!

Wow! First promising pic yet. I hope this is what it will look like

Yeah i would agree with you all. It looks nice and promising. Its looks wide at the back if you look at the wheels and budguards.. Nice

maybe bmws been paying attension to this board

its looking nicer, the headlights are almost decent, just shave those last few inches from the silly eyebrow blinkers and itll be looking mighty fine

Dont like it... its going to take a loooooong while before I get use to this... if ever.

One thing that worries me, is that the Autocar pic doesn't really tie in with what someone else posted earlier from a Georg Kacher article.

Maybe some malicious anti-Bangle BMW person has leaked this design, knowing that it would be popular, but looks nothing like the bizarre flame-surfaced Bangle E60 in a deliberate attempt to undermine and embarrass him.

I kind of liked the pic even if the car looks more like a coupe
than a sedan. But at least thet pic has some of the agressiveness
I am used to see on BMWs. Let's hope it all moves in that
direction!

Best regards,
