I pick the E60 5 Series. It started the modernization of BMW. Even though it's looks are not favored by most, BMW wouldn't be where it is now without the E60 bangle 5 series.

I am not a Jeep guy but you cannot deny the influence this concept has had. You can trace modern SUVs all the way back to it.

I agree. I also think the E60 is the best looking 5 Series. It has aged so well too.

I know. I feel the new 5 series is too bloated.

The E60 wasn't even the first Bangle-fied BMW though. It came after both the E65 7-series and E85 Z4.

I'd rather have one of these over the current design which to me looks pretty bad.
