    Woah, imagine it on a Sunny day with a top shine on it.

    Sexual insecurity is an understatement. :eek:

    certainly doesn't work on a bmw, but as said by another poster i saw it on a 911 and it looks great.

    seriously thought the most shocking thing about that bmw is the atrocious alloys.

    The DL reg would turn me off more than the colour. Then the alloys:D

    Nah I think it proves the opposite. Or it could be a woman driver.

    It's the imfamous runt of the 5 series litter anyway, you'd need to see it in person to say whether you could get away with the colour. At least it's not a feckin' 520d anyways.

    Huh? The 530d is probably the best allround 5er?

    Anyway - I think the photos are particularly bad and it would look better in person, and clean! (especially with the cream interior). Barberra Red on the 5 series is lovely once clean, its reasonably similar!

    Just saying it's the Bangle one, as old as the previous 5 series is, I'm not the only person who would have one over that model.

    Ah ok! That makes sense then.

    Its actually grown on me - like a rash I guess. The new model seems to be a return to form anyway.

    it's the sort of colour that depends on the light... for example

    3250655491_9fa3032114.jpg

    Both cars are the same colour!

    WAAAARGH!!

    Painting the door sills (not sure if that's the right term) instead of leaving them black is ridiculous. That thing looks like an old Accord without the black bits.
