2011 BMW M5 spy photos show new details

looks like a lot of the controversial styling has been gotten rid of... i can't tell you HOW glad i am that Bangle has gone :D

It seems as though the new 5's development cycle is taking TWICE as long as BMW's other models. I sure hope the new 5 is worth the wait. BMW has brought other models to market far more quickly with mixed results. As a sports sedan enthusiast, the 5er GT and X1 simply do not excite me. BMW (in the past) has exemplified manually-shifted, capable, sporting (yet elegant and handsome) coupes and sedans. I understand that selling more models is good for overall market share and business continuity, but it seems BMWs focus has moved away from their once core product and philosophy. Perhaps the all the work on the new 5 will prove me wrong and will show BMW's commitment to producing the best sporting sedans in the world.

Piotre hit the nail on the head. Fishes, Narco.

The exhausts are too small

Sorry to ask, but what car is ahead of this bmw on the pic 11?

bmw has tried everything to make their cars look different in the latest years, and somehow have managed to make them all look plain ugly... and weird. now we say that the design guys in bavaria should go back to drawing subtle, solid designs like the ones from the past... and that 'subtle and solid' should not mean boring. not that i'm on the bimmer side now, but... do you guys see how hard (and nearly impossible) that reinvention is going to be?

Oh NO!Look at the actual window size (actual glass house far smaller than the camouflage's), will be claustrophobic, and the way it lean in the corners and the passengers' head tilt on those roads (where he can't be going over 80 km/h). I have a E60, and miss my E39, it seems BMW is moving ever closer to turning my fave car into a Lexus GS type car- with NO excitement, and to think- it wasn't millennia ago they had the ONLY mid-sized sedan that was actually FUN!... Ooh, AND I think it looks like a R8 :)

this mule is an oasis of attractiveness compared to anything that bangle's corrupted mind ever spawned. by god i hope this is the beginning of the return of beemers that people actually want.

I totally agree that the E39 is one of the best mid-size business sedans ever: classy yet inconspicuous, simple but efficient...

a dissapointing model
