Who thinks this new 5 is going to be horrible?

Just curious, the e39 is my favorite but when the e60 came out i was very disappointed. So what do you guys expect, good or bad?

BMW learned its lesson with the E60, even though it was a successful model. I had 2 E39s and skipped E60 ownership, but my deposit is down on an F10 535i (along with a bunch of people on this board) if that says anything. The only other car I'm now considering when my X5 lease is up is a 2011 740i.

Why are you putting down a deposit? I have expressed extreme interest and my sales person (a 25 year vet at this dealership) hasn't suggested this. Thanks

I wanted to lock in my dealer's first ordering slot since they're not quite sure yet when the first cars will be arriving. My X5 lease is up in July, so it gives me the guarantee of their first ordered car if I find out the first allotment won't be arriving until July or later. If it's earlier, I'll just push the order back to line up the timing with the lease expiration as closely as possible.

Good Luck, let me know what you think of the 5. I can't decide on the new 5 or the new E class. the new E class looks like a toyota camry

somewhat agree, i love the front end of the car, but the back side looks ugly. i was also considering a the e class and hoped that the back side would grow on me but it wont. now i am just waiting for the new 550i, if i do not like i might go with an M3
