Although not related to 5 series, I thought you all might be interested.

The new 7 is going to be spectacular - I liked the current model too but with the rumored design cues from the CS finding their way into the new 7 it's going to be something special.

It will be interesting to see to what degree (if any) our e60's will look dated next to the new 7.

looks like a large 3 series. Its about time, the current 7 was never a favorite of mine.

Great find ... thanks for sharing.

The new 7 certainly does look to be taking strong styling cues from the CS - good. It will be interesting to see all the details, as you can bet that many of those elements will trickle down the the next 5 series.
