New BMW 5 Series

Zonda999

Don't think theres a thread on this yet so here goes!:)

The best spy shots yet have appeared and show the car more or less undisguised

No news on engines yet obviously but the bigger engines should be direct transplant from the already launched 5 series GT.

Should be arriving on ours shores mid to late 2010

We know that the volume selling new E class models have achieved 156€ road tax so the new 5 series wont have any advantage in that area. In terms or pricing, expect it to be about the same as the E-class, surely BMW cant increase that with the pricing of the new E-class

Edit: If you think it can be assumed that the interior of the new 5 series will be the same as the interior of the 5 series GT(And i think it can), the interior will look like this

Opinions?

I'll reserve my full judgement until I see it fully, but judging from these pictures it just looks like a scaled up 3 Series.

Looks a lot better than the current one anyway!

I reserve judgment too, but the flank surfacing looks very bland after the Bangle years.

Looks like a cross-eyed chimpanzee

maidhc

looks like a lexus and unforgivably dull.

Definately a midsize BMW then, and definately not designed by Bangle. Not good.

Martron

side shot looks like an aul volvo. s80 type.

bmw stylin has really gone to the dogs. not as agressive as they used to be
