Has anybody seen more about the E60 M5 Touring?

I hated the E60 from the first moment I saw it and the Touring doesn't look any better to my eyes. Normally cars grow on you over time but I feel the same about the E60 now as the first time I ever saw it. Such a criminal waste that something so technologically superb has been delivered in such an ugly, ugly package

But still nice to see a touring back in the M5 range

There's a load about it in the e60 forum!

Great car, but like the E34 touring, not for me. I love it though, can't explain why I would never buy one.

I got used to the E60 but it took a long time.

The M5 Touring is a great move from BMW. This is the first M estate in RHD ever to come out the factory!

I still fail to understand why they don't offer a standard gearbox over the SMG thing.

They do in the States, but you have to really love DSC...

SMG is great.

Manual gearbox doen't belong in this car.

Kinda like I-drive, people knock it all the time, I think it brilliant save for some details..

I am glad the E60 isn't a car that you've got figured out within minutes..It requires effort, and it makes sense!
