I never thought the specs were so close! Also, it annoys me that BMW interiors are so similar. Surely they can do better than that. I'm not saying the interiors dont look good but they are far too similar.

Also, there are a number of reasons why the 7 looks so much bigger than the 5:

- it has bigger/bolder features like the grille, headlights, rear lights, chrome detailing etc.
- the new 5 is more 3 series-like in its design features, whereas the E60 had smoother panels and looks bulkier especially in M-sport trim.

These differences make the cars look a lot different even though the cars arent far off in dimensions. I guess it's good though because if you buy a 5 or 7 you want them to look different.
