The active BMW 5-Series discussion on the Sedans board is the best place to talk with other 5-series sedan owners & enthusiasts. Thanks!

Saw my first new 5 in person. There is good and bad.
Good news is that in the Silver color I saw, the eye brows are less noticeable, at least with the lights off. The front is acceptable, but I wonder how it would look lit up; things could get ugly. I would not choose a color that had a sharp contrast to those eye brows.
The trunk becomes the sore spot, IMO. Still looks hump-backed to me. A wagon could address this, though.
A Silver wagon could actually address both my beefs with the design.

BMW has done EXACTLY what it needed to do - come up with a cutting edge design that generated a LOT of talk. The old models were SO outdated. Kind of like Lexus - they make a great car, but the design is OLD.
When I see a new BMW on the road, I get EXCITED. I haven't felt that way about a car in a long, long time.
Can't wait to get our (it's "ours" now, not "my wife's" since I like the new design so much!) new 5-series wagon in '04.

my friends are sick of my indecision, but its a huge commitment for me! also, will i find the 3 wagon too small on the road? (im coming from a land cruiser, dying to get closer to the ground!)

I'd look at the 5er, the V70, the 9-5, there are lots of great choices in mid-size lux wagons.

You may also want to check out the touring cars (read wagons) from Audi. VERY classy design.

thank you
Again, the wagon is the most attractive of the 3. The hatch look stubby and too tall, out of proportion.
The convertible doesn't look as good as that concept from the NY show from a couple years back.
