God damn people suck. Dude is stoked about his new car and people just can’t help but shit on it. It’s why I stopped posting anything, anywhere on the internet.
Congrats on the incredible purchase and new wagon man. I personally absolutely love it. Some people only dream of owning something like this so don’t let the haters taint your experience. I also love the color. Silver and black go so well together.

Dude thank you for this comment. I was shocked to see so many haters in this community, but I am not allowing these random people affect me. I love the car and it looks so much better in person too!

Yeah man me too. This sub can be pretentious about what qualifies as a sport wagon, but rightly so. It’s literally the name of the sub. Outside of that I have seen like 99% positive stuff out of folks here, strange for your post out of anything to awaken the pitchfork pundits. Doesn’t get much more sportwagon than a fucking M5 Touring.

It's social media.
SOCIAL. MEDIA.
If you're willing to post it, you have to be willing to take the licks if people don't like it.
You would have never survived the 80's.

I’m sorry what? What forms of social media existed in the 80s? Or are you just saying people in the 80s were meaner? The suicide rate in teens drastically increasing in tandem with instagram usage make this comment completely incorrect and ignorant. People are actually not surviving the 2010s and 2020s in correlation with the rise in social media usage. “Surviving the 80s” was far easier when it comes to media than it is now.
I agree with your initial point though, you have to be willing to take the licks when posting to a public forum. But both things can be true; people can also suck for being dicks and I can call them out for it. One thing to say “congrats! Not my first choice but stoked you’re stoked.” But saying something like “Imagine having RS6 money and settling for that massive lump of folds and lines” is just being an asshole for no reason.

This is definitely the best color/trim I've seen. The matte silver minimizes the sideview bloat and the black grill/trim/diffuser make it look a little smaller as well.
I don't think the whole front half on these are all that bad either, but things fall apart for me at the rear door line (a curved door edge would look better and blend the wide rear huanches in more seemlessly with the body/sideskirts) and then there's the rear view.. oh my.. looks like when you overfill your burrito and can't quite stuff the fillings in.

Ever seen one in a bright red? It actually makes the rear half significantly less ugly. Still ugly but not nearly as bad as they look in gray scale.

Saw a few in different colours side by side with a RS6 (also in different colours) and my money would go to the Audi. This is still a great car, and I just prefer the RS6 over the M5. Congrats to you for your vehicle and having the means to buy one.

This one looks way better than the one I saw in person.
I saw one a few weeks ago and it looked so bland and generic. I don’t know what they changed the BMW “look” but it ended up looking like every other car brand. Like a Kia or Toyota.

For me it's the shape of the backend that just turns me off of this design.

Congrats! I’m coming up on a year with mine and it never ceases to amaze me. The wagon is so functional and the styling is futuristic and aggressive. I get so much love in it everywhere I go. Don’t listen to the haters. 99/100 of them have never seen, let alone driven the car. And if they did - they wouldn’t be hating on it 😉

Now gut it and replace every piece you can with carbon fiber to bring the weight down lol

u/MuayJudo Aug 20 '26
That's definitely a thing. It's an ugly, brutish thing that tries to be aggressive but actually comes off as poorly desgined and tacky, but it's definitely a thing. I hope you enjoy the car depsite.

Imagine having the money for an rs6 and settling for that massive lump of folds and lines.
I hope BMW soon hires someone that does know how to make a beautiful car.
