Its a BMW 5-series Here's a comparison if the upcoming 5-series and 7-series with t similar black camo 5-series: http://img.worldcarfans.com/US/2008/6/18/9080618.001/9080618.001.Mini3L.jpg 7-series standard wheelbase: http://img.worldcarfans.com/US/2006/9/18/6060918.001/6060918.001.Mini4L.jpg 7-series LWB: http://www.worldcarfans.com/9071030.014/mini3/next-gen-bmw-7-series-spy-photos Notice the location of the door handles of the 7-series, they are mounted higher than the one on the 5-series.

Length and door/window shape is 7 series. Highly doubt it is a 5 series.

Clearly a 5-series (unless they have disguised the vehicle by hiring a 7-foot tall 350 pound driver!) I can seek peeks of the crease running along the side on which the door handles sit. Interesting. I certainly hope the stretched-back "eyebrows" are gone forever, and that the shape of the tail lamps (when viewed from the side) look less like a Kia Rio and more like a BMW CS Concept. I'm waiting (and waiting and waiting) for a big diesel with a stick in the U.S. I'll be one of the first in queue! Diesel RULES!

i absolutely agree with your opinions. But we probably will get a two-mode hybrid 7 rather than a diesel here in the US.

BMW actually posted the concept designs of the new 5 on an auto website before, and i still have it on my PC. It seems BMW has adhered strictly to the concept designs. And it's no wonder. I actually emailed them to adhere to the design closely.

The kidneys just gets bigger and bigger. Next thing you know, the Grill will take up the whole of the bumper.

Whingers please... are you serious whith your allegation on the BMW grill being big. If that is the case then you must come up with another expression on the Mercs and Audi grills.

What's up with you people? Do you have a problem with big kidney grills? Look at Audi's V grill ... don't u think it's huge too?

Yeah its huge, but fits in with the style of the car. The grill on this just sticks out like a sore thumb. They better make the styling good for the grill to look good. So far, I ain't impressed.

interesting to see if they incorporate the cs style headlamps into the design of this 5 series although i doubt it, we can but hope, as bmw needs to do something they may be more common on the road than a ford but they fade into the background these days.

How can pipomhonestly see beyound the tapes and make a conclusion that BMW's 5'er will have a grill that sticks out like a sore thumb. Rather wait for the 5'er to be launched then one can make judgement besides BMW kidneys are unique compared to tractors or truck like grills. Doen'nt take a genius to pen them now does it?
