Looks a little too long, but if it ends up looking like this, I like it!

No way it will look like the Auto Zeitung CGI. F15 body will not look like E70. They have slapped new 3-series front to E70 X5. Poor CGI skills.:

Some interior spy shots for the first time

nice too see dash has reverted to e53 style with seperate fuel / temp guages

And there doesn't seem to be a instant mileage indicator under the tacho like it does on the E70.

That is still there but in a different form....as in new 5-series.

interior looks very similar to current gen, same shifter and control knob too. only major change is the retractable nav screen which is in line with the new 3 series

The Central console and the iDrive knob (and surrounding buttons) looks very similar to the current 5 Series. But with the HVAC and DVD controls switched in order (top to bottom).

Nav screen is similar to F12 6-series. Its not retractable, just a fixed, freestanding screen. Freestanding nav screens are the new fad in luxury cars. See Audi A7 nav screen at bottom.

The image below shows the new touchpad idrive on F15...much easier to maneuver on-screen.
