The design philosophy of mocking every non American is now flowing into the 5! The first sedan to have a tailgate. You'd think with Bangle gone, there would be some semblance of art left in the company. BMW doing a Toyota. No they did not stop with the X6 did they?

This appears to be one of the last designs Chris Bangle approved.

Chris Bangle didn't actually design any of the production BMWs.

Put two 'tusks' on the bumper, and there you have it, Wildhog on wheels. I don't prefer the design language that BMW is heading. The front design of the 7-series is a let-down. Its a matter of personal taste. Since Bangle left, all doesn't seem so right with BMW's new releases. Frankly the front profile looks like a wildhog.

Manages to strike a fine balance between "new" but still retains the BMW DNA. The E60/F01 all got thier noses all messed up (and still do) and the E90 went a bit too conservative. Paul, I think the 4 seat arrangement is an option, since I see some shots with 3 abreast seating (clue the 3rd middle headrest) That said, this is a really pointless model.... as with the X6....
