just read on next mag: 7 and 5 will share the same platform whereas 3 and 1 will share another.
IF so, is that indicating the 5er will be less fun to drive and 3er will be more fun in contrast?

Platform = Chassis?

They use most of the same parts which is not good because they cost more $$$ to fix unlike your 3er and 1er

But I think it will have the same Chassis just like the 5GT.
If it is that big this will be my last 5er for a long time, it was good job I got the LCI then.

Sorry guys, not the e60 in stock form.
less body roll and tighter steering response make the car feels smaller than it is.
