What??

Quote:
Those who have seen project E60 (as the new 5 is codenamed) reckon many customers will take even longer to get used to the new midliner. Even BMW loyalists may be shaken by such nonconformist cues as the Chinese-eye front end and the Japanese-looking tail.
Thats enough to make me gag.

Interesting. The description sounds a lot like the last set of spy photos we've seen - except the trunk/boot might more hideous than originally believed. The sales numbers for the Seven we very interesting as well - I'll bet that the North American sales figures that are "slightly above target" fall off as the initial pent-up demand is filled

It sounds to me that most gunshot wounds are self-inflicted, and Bangle is busy hitting the E60 with an ugly stick.
