Proportionally identical? No way, I completely disagree. The rear roofline is far more rakish, unlike the E90 which went against the modern trend and kept a rather conservative rear slope. This also looks like it will have more of a tapered rear end a la the new Merc E-Class. The hood looks much more prominent, and the upright nose is a farcry from the rounded E90.
This looks proportionally similar to an F01 mixed with an A6.
