I was looking at this earlier this morning and think it is superb. Looks so retro and modern at the same time. Always loved the e9 CS and fancied having one.

I really like it...but it makes me want an original e9 more...

+ 1 for me too John. The Internet at work wouldn't open the other pictures. I think it is stunning and that colour was made for it.

I admit that there is an Alfa look about it but it still looks more CS and the front is very like the CS 2000. Although I did think the headlamp cluster looks a bit thin. I do think the original e39 is extremely difficult to better for looks but overall I still love it.

I also read an article recently in a magazine about a guy who morphed an e39 M5 into an e9 with tremendous results.

I really don't like it
The past should remain where it is.
Lack of talent in curent designers leads to modern incarnations of the classics.
People just aren't inventive enough anymore

Like the colour, the wheels and the roof line but don't like the front & back ends, door mirrors & interior.....apart from that it's great!
