"The BMW 5-series began to reveal some of its eventual styling a couple of months ago when it shed part of its disguising revealing part of its signature grille. We can now enjoy this model beating down the Nurburgring in a new video caught by our spy photographers".

Looks like they cover the entire test car with black plastic, except for the lights, front grill, and wind shield/windows??

The article on worldcarfans site says it's a sping of 2010 release as an 11 model, but these things are rarely on time. My guess is it's a late fall of 10 release.

I really hope its not that.

The front looks a lot like an older acura or lexus or something... sigh

E60 is very good looking... i hope the F10 is not very "japanese" looking as the pics suggest.

i dig e12s, e28s, e39s, and the e60s.

e34s and this new one they're making isnt very attractive.

dopest looking 5 series that looks like a lexus.. Dope looking Lexus..? Thats an oxymoron:rofl:

e34s and this new one they're making isnt very attractive.

Whats wrong with the e34?? I must say a stock e34 525i is pretty bland, but I've seen some very tasteful e34's, and the e34 m5 has got to be one of the nicest looking bmw's ever made.
Just my opinion though.

From the rear it looks like a 4 door version of the Z4 coupe or the X6. The line and rear window slant to the trunk and rear lights.

No worries, you are wrong... :D
...about it being the F01.

This video was actually made about a week before it was posted up on WorldCarFans.
The new 7 had been already been 'exposed' around the 4th of July, so I doubt that BMW would have run it
around the track still disguised. Its way too short to be the F01 anyway....:)

Look at the length of the rear doors. I would have guessed a new 7 series. Either way, it is interesting. The slope of the rear window looks like it has been increased along the lines of the 6 series...

thanks for the post!

Front end is good/aggressive looking, rear end is hideous.

I think those pictures can be really close to the final look. The lines and style is very much like the other newer BMW models. I really like the silver picture, both the side and back looks good to me. The blue front picture not so much, the front itself is ok but on that picture the stance is like a grasshopper and i really don;t like a lot of metal between the tires and the fenders and even less between the start of the fender and
the top of the trunk/end of the rear windows and on that picture it has plenty of both. On the silver picture the wheel hosues are better filled and there is a more horizontal leaner line from front to back. Let's hope it will look more like the silver picture :)

Guys, I think this car looks hot! I was not too thrilled about the E60 when it first came out and now I love it! I'd like to see it in black. Change is good, that's just me.

+1 for sure. I know some here are slightly less adaptive, but I think this change is HOT and the perfect change to the 5 series.

I think the pictures linked at the beginning of this thread will be closer to the final look than the ones above. The pix above do not have exhaust pipes on both sides and more of the 3-series rear lights. I think BMW will not pass on the popularity of pipes on both sides and I think the rear lights will be more like the new 7-series and Z than the 3-series sedan. Doesn't matter to much though I like both set of pix if they just keep the side line pretty horizontal without to much wedge shape and without a fat chunk of sheet metal between the wheel house and the start of the C-pillar. Regarding the the E-60 it has very muscular angular lines that makes it an absolute dog with wheels smaller than 17-inch. With 18-inchers it gets a balanced with a very powerful and attractive look. With the M5 wheels it's perfect.
