Apparently BMW is making a F10 Long Wheel Base 5 series for China...

Um... is not the 5 already like 70% a 7 series on the same frame....
So you are basically getting a choice of the same sized/frame/motored (minus the ttv12) car in 2 different trims?

also No USA love...

yes the 5er is base on the 7er but in HK and asia there is a L version.
they already have a E60L in China so this is not new news.

The "L" version should be standard, they only made it for China, not even for HK.

The F10 is about the same as the E60 but when you know they are using the 7er platform,
The room is just not big enough :thumbsdown:
