Just buy a normal 5 series. No, wait. Wait until January and buy one. Then it'll be behind mine on the line in Dingolfing

Well, buy one if you so wish, I'm sure there are far worse cars out there.

Just be prepared to lip read other motorists saying "WTF is that..." whilst involuntarily wearing the following facial expression:

IMO its one of the best looking BMW's currently on sale. I'd even go as far as saying top 3.

genuinely laughing out loud at this and the rest of the replies so far

The new 'normal' one is lovely looking but I keep mistaking them for the E90 3er!

Proceed directly to specsavers, then buy an XF.

I've seen the new standard 5 series on the road and it looks like the predecessor to the old one!

Slobber! The supercharged ones have just found my radar

You think the E39 looks like the F10?

Genius! Although I did spend the first ~30s thinking "Whilst I am partial to a bit of Ted, what the bloody hell has he posted it on this thread for...?"
