There are currently 19 states in the U.S. that do not require a front plate. If you live in one of those states always remember to give specific instruction to dealer when ordering a car to NOT drill your front end and attach a plate holder. Many dealers will do this automatically. That happened to me one time and pissed me off royally. |

This is a car's face so it's not a huge deal in the grand scheme, but I'm actually embarrassed by how bad this thing looks. I've been pretty onboard with their other generational changes going back to my teens (which was a while ago). |

Soooooo excited for this! The rate of how fast the thread is going to grow with hate...I'm going to say we reach at least 50 pages before the first hour.

Dry your eyes!
Such Crying and Yappin I've never seen the like of.
I hope all those who say this car is Ugly stick to their guns and don't buy it. It will be more exclusive for the rest of us. Of course even if they don't buy one they will be secretly wanting one very soon.

If this thing didn't have a roundel on the hood I wonder if some of you guys would still think it looks good.
The design is such a drastic departure from the past that it could very well be from a completely different brand.

So after all these many months and an endless supply of camouflaged cars running around tracks and spy shots from photographers hiding in all sorts of places it ends up that were were shown this car months ago when it was being transported to somewhere on what appeared to be a ship. It was even the same color! It was right in front of us all along!

The license plate blocking a significant portion of the Edsel grills demonstrates how unnecessary this "design" element is. It isn't for air flow; it isn't to make us happy; it must be because the design director lacks good taste.

I'm postive that the production model exterior was finalized prior to the Concept 4 shown last September. BMW is already at work for the replacement 4 series in 7 years, as BMW has a 10 year product road map-- I have been told this 1st hand by an BMW AG executive in Germany.

They're still there, just in a more cubical design. They wanted the 5 to look more square and mature and i personally like it. Much better than the pre-facelift version which is just sooooooo bland.
