the new 6-series AND 5-series have really taken a step back imho. When they revealed the E60 and 6-series the design had so much emotion.. people either loved it or hated it, and in the end most fell in love. this is most evident with the amount of e60's there are on the road today. The new 6-series looks streamlined, emotionless, and gaudy. hope the f30 won't share these faults.. that would be disappointing
