New BMW 5 Series Prototype Caught Again in Munich

It look much bigger than the current model

it looks like 3rd series! :(

x3 sedan??? jaja, augly.....

It will be the greatest sedan in the world

rendering looks like current 3series

the next E - Class will be the greatest sedan in the world...and who need 8 speed auto, 7 speed double clucth will do just fine

I donno guys to me that looks more like a 7 series than a 5 series. The car is too long for a 5 series and the door handles r off the current 7 series. also the flat and square rear off the 7 series. Could be an M7 testing mule.

do u really think the next 5er will look this? this is jus a photoshop job on the current 3series. n whoever says the eclass tops this car is not readin the stats properly. the 3 n 5 have always ruled the c and e.

For what I can see, the grille is huge like the CS concept. So again you're a little behind on the old renderings but as you say it's just an 'impression'.

8 gears? Why not a CVT then?

BMW has had a few great cars but none lately! 2002tii is still one of the best.

Coopergt, dont you know m5 and m6??those are amazing cars

The next BMW 5 Series will be launch at the Geneva Motorshow on 2009. It's gonna be better than next E-Class. It's still a great drive.

just to be exact, the Audi A6 is the best selling upper-middle class sedan in the european market ( and thats where it counts, not the american market ) ... still, the eclass is a very good vehicle. quality issues, though.

I saw previous photos of this test mule. I thought the greenhouse looked too tall. However, in these photos, the proportions look great. If the design team gets they styling just right... this might be a winner.

BMW is surely a great car and Mercedes-Benz as well. Question is not which is better or greater, but these two have very defferent taste. BMW is a superstar for those who love the brand and M-B is as well for M-B lovers. World is enjoyable because you have a lot of possibility to choose from defferent tastes. The word "convergence " is what I am not fond of.

Just wanted to point out that the E-class, along with the CLK, SL, and S-classes, were highest ranked in initial quality in their respective categories by J.D. Power. Also, MB sells more vehicles per year in the USA than BMW in every segment other than the 3-series and the new C-class is gaining major ground. We literally cannot keep the C in stock right now... good problem to have but frustrating for our customers. I like BMW's from the 90's way better than Benzes of similar era, but Bimmers just don't do it for me anymore. I think it is the move towards more feminine styling look that all new BMW's seem to be adopting. I'll take a little E36 or E39 boxiness, thank you. I still want to buy a 97 or 98 M3 sedan just because of the looks, but would never pick an E90 or E92 over the new C-class based on styling or driving dynamics.

Please re-look at the head lights design.It is definely a bigger 3 Series look. Rather keep the current look or redesign it to look different from the 3 series. You have run out of ideas and surely you can try open a competition and the you will be able select a better match.

it is bmw x3 sssssedan

Very nice page!!!
