I'm sure you're right Alan, but I'm not a big fan of the new 7-series lay-out (even though, for the most part, I don't have a problem with the I-drive). I just don't find it very inspiring, ya' know?

Well I'll tell you Harrison that the more I look at the new 7 .. . the more I like it.
Also, I am sure they will retain the sporty nature of the 5er more so then they did with the 7. My outlook is the 7 is the luxury model while the 3er and the 5er are more sporty natured
Maybe I am wrong but I couldn't imagine them not making the 5 sporty
Great to hear from you Sammy! I've (up until recently) been a fairly big advocate of the G35 (in fact, up until last week, I was convinced that I was going to ditch my 330i for a G35 6-speed when they become available later this year). Now I'm leaning toward hanging on to it for another 3-4 years (I've had it for 13 months and I've put around 7,8xx miles on it), and then trading up for a 5-series (assuming I like it).Nebr330xi said:Hey Harrison, I can't imagine the next 5 not being sporty. Have you noticed that the G35 actually is size similar to the current 5 (I read that somewhere). In person I really like the the new 7 and I hear it drives pretty brilliantly. In some Euro mag (EVO?) I read that the 7 sometimes feels like a 3 in the way it handles. That's pretty damn impressive for a car that big methinks. I'm keeping my 2002 330xi until warranty time and then want to trade up to the new 5, which will hopefully be in its third year (before Nov 2005).
