I was just thinkin'..........why doesn't somebody with PShop and some extra time use their imagination and take of all those stickers and everything?

A friend of mine on another chatboard did just that when this pic was posted there..



Looks pretty good to me, at least a good photoshop!

It looks gay.

I'm still trying to get used to the E39 body style.

Here's a couple more:





Call me crazy, I like it.

I like it a lot. It looks 100x better than the 5 series.

Yes. Yes it does.

I'd like to see some pics of a coupe.

[BrianF 88iS]

I think it is also a pshop, the mirrors dont look the same in the first pic.

But me like :)

[Wes325]

call me crazy but I like it a lot. I normally like anything bmw puts out on the market though, except for the entire 1 series.

wtf is that mercedes' side mirror style doing there ?

[Kavkazia]

I don't know man, I like it and I bet it would look much better in person!

[Schniddy]

Man, they sure use a LOT of tape on the headlights and tails. I hope they learned their lesson with the past two models.

why so much tape? im guessing they dont want companies stealing there idea before they release the final copy

Standard practice in the automotive industry. It's not to prevent other companies from stealing designs (it takes about 3-5 years to get a design from a paper sketch to a full-size running chassis), but to prevent people from knowing what new models will look like. Any company would want to keep their new products under wraps until the official unveiling.

other than the kidneys making the front end reminding me of an older evo, i like it a lot. i think the rear end looks mean. but i like all the new bmw's :D
