On speed last night, they had the new 5 series test drive. Did anyone see it? They said a lot of good things about the car. I'm still not sure on the styling though. What do you guys think about it?

I was the 1st to drive the 530i on Long Island and I must say it was great. This car had active steering, Sport suspension, 18" run flat tires and Steptronic. I had the car up to 110 on the highway and it ran straight as an arrow, smooth and it felt like I was only going 60! When I kicked into steptronic it was alot of fun. I was considering ordering the 545i with SMG, and the other day I drove a Z4 with SMG and had only a short ride so I'm on the fence about changing my order to include SMG. Any advice would be helpful!

Was as the open house a couple of days ago - for the new 5. Observatiuons:

Looks better in real life than pictures
Trunk is too massif
Car looks big
Interior very luxurious
This should have been the new 7
Prefer the styling of my E34 and the sporty ride of my E28.

Not for me.
