The new 5 lacks the short overhangs that BMW is known for.

Bangle must be stopped.

this is what BMW styling is all about, and the car which made the sports sedan in the USA.

that's a nice SSS.

actually it was the 2002 that started the sport sedan scene.

which is why Car & Driver wrote that article about it, which started it all...

oh and Datsun got sued by BMW for stealing the rear suspension design!

don't get me wrong I like 510s, but the 2002 was the original, and is higher quality too.
