I may not ever own one either, but it's still one heck uva car!

The "new" BMW styling... I don't like the 7-Series, but the 5-Series looks
pretty good. The "split grille"? LOL! Looks more like a Pontiac than a BMW
twin kidney grille, maybe I just like older Bimmers? :-) Even without the
new twin kidney grille and the angel eyes, there are still many BMW traits.
Such as the extremely short front overhang, cab-rearward styling... Oh well,
the whole thing just shouts "BMW" to me though.

Yeah :-) A Kia with a 500hp V10 :-)
