I have slightly mixed emotions as with all the new models coming out now, not only from BMW, other companies are also making changes that not everyone likes at the start. At the end of the day though the only option we have is to accept it as the new norm, much like clothing fashion or body trends.
Rewind a little bit and we had an exciting "car scene" to look forward to, not only focused on cars and that's the point I'm getting at.
We had loud and fast cars powered by liquid, the ladies wore low-cut pants with short tops and a slim body was considered as hot. Great car events had pimp my ride's crew come to SA as an example to showcase some of their "wow" modded cabbies like the Renualt5 with UK garage music blasting throughout the event. If a car was revved at this kinda event you knew it's something like a MK4 Supra blasting the hell outa the audience and it made brutal power. Fast and the Furious was a big topic and was the cause of me and my mates spinning the shit outa our little mk2 escort project car with it's kent motor.
Our norm now is beyond disappointing and everyone, everywhere you go is nothing more than sheep following the herd. Most 'faster' cars now need a charging station nearby to be able to deliver all the power all the time, ladies still wear short tops but with belly-covering pants and now have a run for the biggest a$$, if your car can't fire gunshots it's not considered as "modded", lord knows what self-harm music the kids are listening to these days and Fast and the Furious movies now are on the verge of introducing OB1 with a star trooper invasion. The list goes on and on.
The point I'm trying to make is that it's here and it's the new norm, everything you buy now is not something for you, it's focussed at what the sheep think of it when you use it. It might grow on us or it might not, but we're gonna be seeing it cause people need to keep up with the fag we all know by the name of "fashion".
For some of us though, this new age is nothing but a nightmare we gotta deal with, the plus side though is driving past, or meeting with some like-minded people on here every now and then, this is the only thing keeping us sane.
On the new M5 though
Love the front look but the rest is all ok I guess.
I used to like seeing these big new screens and minified interiors, after driving passenger in one though I still like seeing it, must be the developer roots, but I don't wanna own it anymore.
