Is it just me or are the looks a bit "meh"? Of course this iteration is the fastest, most powerful, most capable one etc, but they don't seem to do road presence like the Audi RS cars do, whether its the blistered arches or the big grilles. Just something missing...

Totally agree. Looks like it should be badged 550i or something (the i to distinguish it from the carburettored version).

Yep, ///M cars should have wide arches.

Also, I know we've done this to death, but is there anything that BMW won't put an ///M badge on these days?

I think the current 5 looks a bit shit in general. The current design thing they're doing looks really good on the 7 but makes the 5 look boring.
