Does anyone know when BMW will make a significant body style change for the 5 series? Is it 2003?

I heard somewhere (from my salesman, I think?) that the new 5 would be a year behind the new 7, which hits showrooms in January. That'd probably be a 2003 or a very early 2004.

The new 5 serie is comming about one year from now. (2003 mod) In Europe they use to com in october. The 7 serie is comming to Norway in november 2001.
