looks like a bigger 3 series to me
but without the aggressiveness. This thing looks a bit girly from the front & side, but I don't mind the back.I liked the old 5, not a fan of this one though.

I'm also with Jonboy on this. The interior design just doesn't do anything for me. I'm sure materials and fit and finish are good (for the price they better be) but it doesn't seem to have any real theme to it. It doesn't have the graceful lines of the Jag nor the penta-shaped theme of the CTS or the flow of a Lexus. It lacks the purposeful shape of the 2000 5 series (E39?) but lacks fun and artistic at the same time. Really, I am disapointed with the interior. The exterior is better as it's no longer offensive but it is rather forgettable. Again it doesn't have the really purposeful, no-BS look of the 2000 car yet doesn't pull off any other sort of theme either.
Not bad but I wouldn't lust for one the way I might have for the car two generations back.

The interior doesn't look much like the E39 interior to me. It does look a lot like the outgoing model.
I see the E39 interior and it the 5 series before it as having similar interiors. Incidentally, I don't really like the E39 4 spoke steering wheel. The other wheels used in that car generally look better.
The new one and the outgoing model look similar to me but don't remind me much of the E39 and earlier:
