Last week I had my 5 Series in for service and the dealership had a Tanzanite Blue 760 (beautiful color) on the floor. It looked great both in and out. It looked better than I expected. I even sent my wife a picture. of it.
They also had a new 5 Series which I spent some time in. I'm more familiar with the 5 and think we'd be very comfortable with the new gen.

Are you sure you were in the 5? I've sat in it and already gave my impressions in the E thread, lower door bins are hard plastic and the switchgear was very cheap as well. The top of the door sills and dash are huge swaths of plastic (admittedly soft-touch) with no leather/vinyl wrap or stitching. The only good thing were the Veganza seats, and even those lacked the adjustability of the prior gen comfort seats. Otherwise, it's a joke compared to the prior generation.

I'm also pretty sure and you can ask others like TangoRed who also have spent time in the new 5, the lower door bins are 100% hard plastic. No vinyl wrap on the top or dash available on any trim, no massage seats, no adjusting backs on comfort seats, no rear climate controls (in the US), and hilariously the B&O sound system has been downgraded to the equivalent of the prior-gen HK sound system.

My G30 has the full adjustability and massaging seats.
