Let the haters hate. The E60 was a smashingly good car.

Just found this pic while working on another project, and seemed relevant. This was my second E60. The 07 550 was a piece of shit. This one was really good, despite the plastic failuers.

I knew a guy with a Sweet E60 550, then he gave it to his kid who covered it with M badges in the worst way possible:(

What have you got now?

All these years later, these are still the 5er least likely to use turn signals.  Nice from the side profile view anyway :)

I see your E60 and raise you with my.... Oh, that’s not how this works?

Anyway, I lo ve that thing. You once described them as two dimensional private jets and that sums them up pretty well.

Based on the registration sticker, looks like I lived in TX when you had this.

I hate the E60 so much that I bought one.

I mean LOVE, not hate. I love my M5.

I got my M3 when I was living in Corpus Christi back in July 2014. I moved away from Texas in October 2016.

Is a masterclass in restrained yet interesting design.

Possibly the single most-hated design in all of car design history.

I’ll defend it to my last breath.

Haha, I’m not sure about that! You don’t even have to look that far to find a more controversial car: the 7 series of the same period.

Possibly true. But that one I’m not so vocal in defending.

What makes you say the e60 550i were piece of shit..just curious! I have 2008 e60 550i with msport package and its one of the best looking e60's granted this one is fully loaded and make a few mods and d ecent power for an aspirated engine.

Mine, specifically, was a shitpile. Had to replace every gasket, seal, sensor, and belt under the hood.

But it was fun when it ran.
