[@kfh123]

The regulations specified bumper performance; they did not prescribe any particular bumper design. Nevertheless, many cars for the U.S. market were equipped with bulky, massive, protruding bumpers to comply with the 5-mile-per-hour bumper standard in effect from 1973 to 1982. This often meant additional overall vehicle length, as well as new front and rear designs to incorporate the stronger energy-absorbing bumpers, adding weight to the extremities of the vehicle.

I do wonder if the initial reviews have missed the main point of this new M5. Reviewers are not focussing on its super low 50g/KM emissions and the tax breaks this enables, bringing the car firmly into consideration by company car drivers. It is also priced cheaply against high end rivals (think Panamera, new Bentley). When you take account of these two points, the new car keeps a ICEV8 based M5 alive as opposed to a fully electric model. I suspect in time the strategic motivation of BMW M Division will be recognised and the car will be successful. I have owned several M5s and RS6 as my daily-driver in the past. I don't want an electric car and I don't want to spend £150k to £220k on a Panamera or Bentley. I also want a V8, and I like the coherent and better proportioned styling of this new M5 (something I cannot say for most BMW's since Chris Bangle initiated his surface-flaming evolution). I have also had many 911 Turbos/Turbo S and I see that Porsche have done a similar exercise with their latest 911 to the extent the ICE has been maintained and the electric motor/hybridisation is largely there to reduce emissions (although I see how super clever electric motor tech is deployed to drive the turbo). All food for thought. Replies from fellow petrol heads would be appreciated.

I hate the rear bumper where the reflector is situated. Looks like a huge piece was sliced off behind the rear wheel. It is too angular and doesn't flow well at all. The increase in the height and weight of the vehicle is not a good thing given the market niche it is targeting. Huge batteries are a huge problem both for the added weight and finding the space inside the chassis to situate them. The rear fender beginning aft of the doors must be a cost-saving feature. BMW can then use the same doors on all of their 5-series models. Yes, it looks kind of abrupt but not as bad as that reflector cut-out. The dash is revolting but I'm not surprised they went with a full digital layout. Of the three versions BMW was considering I much preferred the top one. The front and back look well integrated and its character comes out better. The production version is a mixed bag. I prefer the competition.

I might be wrong but I have a theory that the designers of BMW literally started with cardbox design so as to eventually in the future make iconic cars that people will look back and think of the uniqueness of the cars, this will give them the notoriety in the future, and make themselves stand out. Slowly and surely, they are chipping of the sharp edges and slowly making the cars to have a little bit more of a shape. What I think is cool is how the boxes are now looking like they have little of form. It could also be a way of them trying to reinvent themselves, or their design because they reached a peak, or they didn’t like how the design language was heading to so they decided to start again. You compare them to Mercedes, I personally think some of their cars, especially the electric ones, have gone downhill. The design is there, but even though the lines are there, the symphony feels off. The GTs are quite the eye catchers. But the EQS horrible. I would take a Toyota crown before I i give the EQS a chance. But no matter how boxy the BMW looks, I will still take the crown, but it would be difficult.
