DT: BMW did little to wow me. The press conference didn’t reveal anything at all besides the news of a 7 Series
hydrogen hybrid. Which is pretty cool, but the new 3 Series would’ve been cooler. The M5 didn’t impress as much in
person, besides when the hood was up. Oh mama. But overall BMW didn’t do anything to wow.

Grade: D-

WK: The M5 has a great personality. Usually when that term is used to describe people, they are deficient in the
looks department, but fun to be around. That’s the M5 to me. Well, that’s pretty much the whole BMW lineup to me. The
3-Series looks to buck the trend, but as they say; no showy, no county.

Grade: D+
