The Designer Of The New Mini Figured Out How To Make The BMW M5 Touring Look Way, Way, Way More Tasteful

2+ day, 2+ hour ago  (764+ words) Sound stuff, but everyone's talking about the styling of the Bovensiepen 05 GT and for good reason. The marque's tapped the talents of Frank Stephenson's design firm to reimagine this big wagon as less new-money. As design team lead Euan Mc…...
