the new 5 series concept is featured in the BMW Mag. I don't like it, e60 is/will probably the best 5 series ever built.

Only 555 hp Mercedes announced that they are ending the horsepower war with the 518hp e63 V8. I think that hp will stay in the 500 - 550 range for a while. Cadillac, MB, BMW, Jaguar, Audi all have 500+ hp sedans, but is much more horsepower really usable?

I agree with the e60 being a fantastic car but I'm sure once we all see the F10s rolling around the streets for a year or two we will come around to it's charms.
