So i do think its possible to maintain the same interior space yet shrink the exterior. if next generation lose weight, i hope exterior dimensions dont grow.

Speak for yourself. Those of us who aren't 5'9" & 170 lbs (avg height and weight in U.S.) feel the F10 is just fine. I'm 6'7" and the e60 felt cramped to me. It's all relative. You could suggest I purchase a 750 or B7, but I could suggest you get a M3 (some say it's the size of the old 5-series) or better yet a M235i b/c I'm sure that's not too roomy. As in most things in life, one size doesn't fit all but the F10 platform does accommodate a wider range of buyers.
