Impressions based from these shots:
1. Rear: Something is wrong with those rear lights, there is to much dead space in the rear light, the elements that light up show that it could have been a much more slimmer designed light unit.
Also the bootlid looks amazingly short somehow, which again makes the lights look huge. Im very sad about this, if anything has been great with recent BMWs its the rears, the 7er has a tremendous behind. this does not. And those exhaust tips are a joke.
2. Side profile: I cant judge it, but due to the short rear it might look unbalanced, that side line is hard to judge in this color to, it just looks like it ends or starts out of no where.
And that damn hockey stick is there again. In a lighter form.
3. Front, the head lights seem to have a to pronounced brow, might look good when they are on, off it looks wierd. Is this the M package btw? Weak in that case.
What bothers me the most is the part of the bumper that goes from the inside of the headlight to the other, looks like the grill sits on a shelf.
4. Interior, its the same old story, this will be old yesterday, the competition looks way more advanced, its sad really.
Overall ile reserve my final judgement for better pictures, its a mighly booring looking car though inside and out, remember that this seems fairly high spec to.
I want to say that it atleast isn't ugly, well its not.. but due to the huge rearlights and little real estate in the rear it looks awkward.
Then again I disslike the headlights on the E class strongly to.. so 1-1 in that sense. But the E has a shit load more going on for itself over this 5er.. no doubt.
Let's see what audi comes up with.
