Does anyone have any "spy" pictures / sketches of the e60 prior to its release in late 2003.
From what I've heard, almost all car magazines and websites were way off target in what they thought would be the e60.

mmm...i thought it would be easy to find some but seems all threads back in 2002/2003 with photoshop guesses have links to dead images now.
I did manage to find this (but the url makes me think it was a joke!):

das may have an archive somewhere -- his original site contained a bunch of E60 stuff.

His archive link he posted here is dead too.

Maybe das' old site could be archived on this site somewhere?

Thanks for the pictures. In some pictures it looks like an Audi.
Overall the car mags were not too off target.

Interesting how accurate the tail lights are in 2 of those pics
Also the bottom section of the rear bumper in the one pic is very accurate.

Definitey leaked info.
