The 5 series is only in competion with Audi A5 and Merc E Class really so has to compete on a luxury level.
in similar vein to your 5 series point, the lci spec will need to be pitched against the new C Class and A4both of which will no doubt have better standard kit than the current F30/F31. BMW will not want to loose sales to either merc or audi on their best selling car.
Will they have better spec though?!
