Interior spy pictures of the next-generation BMW 5-series

The interior will be nice but I hope they don't screw up the exterior design like the new 7 Series.

Their interiors may not be the best looking but they're not "cheap". It doesn't look high quality but when you feel the dash it feels solid. The ride is second to none. I can't speak for the 1 series but the 3 series all the way up to the 7 series have superb ride comfort. It's not as soft as a Merc but road noise is at it's minimal, what I look for in a luxury car.

Audi is the industry leader when it comes to interiors not Lexus. It may be in your eyes though but Mercedes & Audi are the top for me. I've owned the last 3 generations of S-Classes they have always been solid but none is better than the my 550. My Lexus is great too but it's a different type of luxury. It's not an elegant place to be like my Merc but a safe and boring type of place to be. It's great though I love it.

If you owned a 5 series car, you would feel differently; I too would like to see some changes to the E60, but the seats in my 550i are still better than any other seats I've sat in.

I love the Lexus GS but it's not a class leading interior. It's not the best fit and finish for that price range. The E Class and the A6 are by far the best in it's class.

oh wow so you have already seen, sat in, and driven the new 5, A6, and E class than taken the time to do comparison test of them wow......you must be real high up on the totem pole to do all that with cars that arent finished being developed..........

I really like the interior. I've always liked BMW interiors. I know that's one area they are heavily critiqued on, but I like them.
