Much, much better! They really subdued the ugly that was having it's way with this car. It's still a 'precision barge', but it isn't a total eyesore now. THe sideskirts diffuse the "slab" sides nicely, and the rear is a massive step away from Bangle. They should still nix iDrive as a standard option. I have it and love it, but it is a matter of taste and really limits the experience for many older customers.... as in almost all 5-series customers. Without Nav, iDrive is much less novel. It looks like a LWB e90 now, & with better tail lights.
