Just got an email from BMW introducing the new 5-series Gran Turismo. If they're calling the GT a part of the 5 series family, wouldn't it be a safe bet that we'll be see a very similar front end on the new 5?

Probably, but I hope they fix the profile. Straight on it looks cool, but when you look at if from the side it looks like it has a pig nose.

the head lights looks like the one on the X5.

I hear you, the new front doesn't do it for me, but maybe it'll grow on us.
