I didn't realize that it had four wheel steering!

Looks awesome, but there's just nothing high performance, or competitive race looking about any car with 4 doors. Sorry.

M-Pilot · 11-28-2016, 02:23 PM

I really like how this new 5-series looks. Very nice!

infamousq · 11-28-2016, 02:23 PM

Liking the car even more!!!

Yes.. this could get fun

swagon · 11-28-2016, 02:49 PM

These first drive tests are always positive. Not really worth reading them.

Photoman · 11-28-2016, 02:55 PM

Car looks lovely!!
I'm at a loss why black wheels are still a "thing"... looks beyond silly IMHO.

JunkStory · 11-28-2016, 03:56 PM

in all fairness, he said "performance or race looking".. which is true..

goj · 11-28-2016, 04:05 PM

Looks like it drives really well for a large car

raysspl · 11-28-2016, 04:28 PM

Looking great in the photos, without a doubt

These pics do not make the new 5 look cool in any way, there's no sexy ass, no swagger, no "look at me" about it, wheels are awful, and the white body just looks.........dull.

Opinions are fine, top gear or otherwise from the firestick Grand Tour team, but the point being.........the new 5 is something many aspire to, we, are already there (or will be when the F11 retires) but for newbies, it's heaven and one I believe is based on zero reviews. It's just gut instinct.
