Guess it's the kink that triggers that notion, because other than that there is not much...

Nope, not the HM kink. I was thinking about the rear lights (BTW Is it starting to sound like I have an obsession for finding rear light similarities? ) Other than that, like you said, there isn't too much resemblance.

On what kind of drugs are those CGI "artists" when they make such an impossible previews ??Seriously,I wanna know cause I see it makes you go crazy .

2010 here we come

Anyone know when the new 5 will be available? early 2009? autumn 2009? early 2010?

From what I have heard and read the next 5 will be more coupish shape. Huckfeldt is usually very close in his guesses as if he has seen the real pics.

It's very likely that Huckfeldt gets pictures of upcoming cars from car companies or at least very detailed sketches. This would explain why he sometimes gets the details almost 100 % right and at other times 100 % wrong (when he hasn't got any pictures).

I'm really looking forward to this car ... I should be able to afford an M5 when it comes out... hope its as good as the currrent generation because i love it

No. The Concept CS previews the design revolution that will commence with the F01 7er. The design cues here show something on a simularity of the E90 3er with X3 shape lights. We will not go this far back when we start the revolution with the 7er nor will it be a smaller 7er to please those who long for the old days of tradition.

The 5er will feature some design elements that will be carried over from the current car such as a wedged shape , broad shoulders and headlights placed on each corner surrounding a wide CS style grille, New design elements will include a steeply raked windshield and sloping to the rear a coupe like roof.
The rear lights again wrap around the rear of the car similar in shape to the current car but more slimmer. We wont do the cars in the "same sausage different length". But the twin kidney grilles will feature in this philosophy.

Speaking of which, this is currently on automotorsport.se's homepage:
