I'm starting to think that if BMW built a pile of manure and slapped a roundel and some 124's on it, not only would Pete buy it - he'd spend all his time trying to convince us that it smelled like ROSES.....

maybe the thought occurred to you that some people may not want a 7 but choose to stick with the 5?

...and obviously you know this because.....?

Have you ever sat in a fully-loaded F10?....It's every bit as luxurious as the 7, not to mention closely resembling it. You can get almost as many options in the F10 as in the 7.

dude that's the point...if we wanted a 7 we'd get one. We want a better 5, and 5's were the epitome of the sporty sedan. Now its the luxury smaller (not by much) 7.
