perhaps if the goal is to get new buyers into the fold, or introduce a totally new look to the brand... but i used to like the BMW look, and don't see much (if any) original BMW dan in the 5-series (sedan or touring) beyond the propellor badge. these new models don't look like updated versions to me... thye look like new versions. can't say i like them. no, the touring is especially dorky... gone are the beautiful, perfect proportions of BMW's gone by. these don't look taut and agile to me... they look lumbering and ackward.

(for any of you canadian, GTA members... have you seen the BMW dealership at the gardiner/DVP intersection? the big, multi-level building with the vending-mechine design? brilliant! gotta see it travelling south towards the lake!)
