Do you agree that this is a little ugly?

Not very flattering from this angle:

I think it looks great!

Could use a little more edges, but those arches are lovely!

BTW Greg/santa etc etc, I once encountered a 4.6 in Imola, which looked awesome..

And about liking ashok, hell, every E60 M5 owner loves him as he takes the gearbox failure rate bias all the way to England!

It looks better in person than in the pics. I'm still partial to my "old" 4.8is right now.

I've been told the E70 looks better in person than in pictures. I placed an order on a 4.8i late in October for mid January 07 delivery. I could have gotten it mid-December if I had ordered the "stripper" model but I like having all the toys so things got pushed back. This is another time I let Boston Rocket talk me into buying a car sight unseen.

Did you get a discount from MSRP?

How do you like it?

I priced mine out at $68K for MSRP.
