...pick up the groceries with something like that.

Stats found online:

"When the famous German tuner turned its attention to BMW's 5-Series saloon and touring, the results were saloon and estate models like no other cars, in terms of both form and function: special wheels and tyres, of course, but notably a V8 4.4-litre engine producing 500 bhp and a torque of 700 Nm at 4,250 rpm."

Yeah, That'll do it!

What's fugly appearance???
(Well, w/out the roundel, nose grill & Alpina letters...it looks like my neighbor's Lexus !!!)

the new designs are starting to grow on me. just look at those headlights It'll never be as striking a front end as our e34's but its not as bad as i used to think.

And i'm going to say it, i like the new 6's. in fact i'd be proud to drive one! so there! pontiac or no i still like 'em

It's pretty f'ing bad, man. So bad, I wouldn't even want to touch one of them...even with 500hp.

Call me a purist, but I'd rather they just fired Bangle

Best, whit

You younguns gotta realize that us old timers thought the e34 was fugly when it came out. But boy has it grown on us.
Of course back in the old days ('89) we didn't have the internet to express our dislike like we do nawadays.
I still think the e12 is the best looking/made 5er.

I had a feeling that was true. I am sure a lot of people were unhappy when the new slick e39 replaced the boxy e34. Even now when you put the e39 and the e60 side by side, the e39 starts to show its age.

The E36 was HATED by BMW loyalists at first. Enclosed headlamps? No exposed grille? No coupe first? Now look at how people view it. BMW has a history of making big changes and the public generally not accepting it. But after a couple years, they love it.

The front end is still hideous !!!!
