guys i think some comments here are a bit overdone. a cramped interior in a 5 series? sun glare in the idrive screen because of bad layout? come on, this is a GERMAN car, they would do anything but getting such basics wrong. this will probably be the biggest 5 series ever, how can it be cramped inside? some of these comments are really similar to the guy with the "two knobs on the radio" - looking twice and a bit of thinking really is the way forward.
seriously, I respect everyone's subjective opinion, and I also have mine. But lets be a bit more thoughtful when judging what we see on the pics. Its great to have such a community here and it will be even better if we try to assess the F10 in a more thoughtful manner.

On the other hand, in September of last year I read a particular post on Bimmerfest from someone who was in one of the "focus groups" that gets to preview the car before it hits the streets. This poster did seem to think the interior was smaller (at least in front) than the E60. I found this to be a bit odd-sounding, but now I'm not so sure that he was completely offbase....
Is it possible that BMW could make the car look bigger from the outside, but actually decrease interior space in some dimensions?

Am I the only one who sees a 6-speed manual in the original pic?? It's hidden I know, but compare it to the auto-stick layout in the other pics. Very, very happy.

I didn't realize BMW had a tie-up with Lego ?
Because it looks like that's who designed the interior !
This what good interior car design look like.....

I must disagree! Interior looking like that picture would be an absolute no go for me
It is good that we like different things - it would not be nice if everybody drove a BMW

The problem here is that some people who own BMW?s, and other cars are?.how can I say this politely??Intellectually challenged ?.
They have trouble even with the basics like engaging ?drive? so complex design features and technical advances are wasted on these morons.
Myself, I have a very high level of education and intellectual capacity so the more complexity and design niches the better.
Imagine being a BMW engineer trying to design an interior for that broad spread of customers.
Now I know this will be a little offensive, but any company knows that there is a higher proportion of ?intellectually? challenged population in the US than in Europe or Asia Pacific (not my opinion, but statistically true). But the US is also the largest market for BMW so this can often result in a ?dumbed down? design philosophy. That is what we are seeing here.

For the record, I'm not American or US citizen, and don't really care about what you say about US, or at all for that matter, but a person with self proclaimed "high level of education and intellectual capacity" won't come to forum and call anybody "morons".
