The side wings have grown into where the hood used to be. And it takes some good metal engineering to pull of such a smooth and undisturbed look in the headlight. The second circle, is just part of flame surfacing. The surfaces don't match on purpose. It's meant to make the grill look more inlet then the bumper, but at the same time make the grill look farther then anything else on the body.

So whats up with the new engine? Do I spy twin turbo's on the 4.8 ?
Twin air intakes, but not twin turbos.

Anybody notice where the glove compartment would normally be? It doesn't seem to be there... but if you look at the passenger side center vent there is a button, and the passenger wood panel looks like it isn't completely attached (like it would swing up... or something) so is that where the glove compartment is now located? It is a cool idea i think, and it looks like it would have at least as much space in there as the old location. What do you guys think?

You talking about the button in between the vents below the Nav screen? Those are hazard lights and door lock/unlock buttons, moved from the center console of the E53 to in between the vents on the E70.

Were you talking about something else?

Wow - it even comes with a rub strip on the door. I thought that was a thing of the past. Okay, I'm sold. An E70 is in my future.

Good eye! Hard to see in the second interior pic, but you may be right about what it does.
