I just saw the back of one in Seattle when I was headed to the A.F.I. concert at the paramount (which was AWESOME). It looked really big to me, not much like a bimmer, a big jump from the last 5 series. However I found it strangely attractive and I cant wait for the next M5 (and the return of the M6!). Should be cool. Where are those spie pics you saw?

I love that whole car except for the i-drive which is such a pain.

I saw a new 6-series the other day in Santa Barbara....

I know you think I'm full of it cause theyre not out yet but it was there and looked SWEET!
way better than it looks in pictures. I'd buy that, especially the M6 . I hope they put the 12-cyl from the 7 series

but I think the 5 series look just OK and the 7 series look like a whale

does anybody actually experienced this i-drive system. i read in some mags that its complicated and what not but once you get use to it, it could be handy. i got myself an old e23 5 speed(85' 735i), which is just plain fugly, but for now it takes me from a to b so i cant complain much. anyways i seen a couple of new 5's on the street and from what i saw i thought they were pretty bad ***. the headlights are a bit different but for some reason i love em'

The next M5 and M6 will feature a new V-10 engine making 500bhp. Not too shabby!
