I think the 550 is the best looking model in the E60 lineup. More so than the M5 since it doesn't have the fender vents and freaky rear bumper w/ quad exhausts complicating things.



Very, very nice looking car.
 
I have the same car in space grey. I can't even imagine trying to keep a black one looking clean. Jet black is BMW's most difficult color to keep looking fresh.
