How does BMW get it so wrong? It was more blessed than most when the great toy box of car-styling cues was being shared out: it scored a snouty shark-nose, kidney grilles, the Hofmeister kink in the side windows and the classically correct proportions of front-engined, rear-wheel drive. The new 5 Series M Sport mixes up the toolkit with its jutting underbite, piggy headlights, squashed exhausts and fussy side vents. But will you even notice the new stalwart of UK business expressways?
