It does look a lot like the 7. Say what you want about Bangle, but you could tell the difference between every Series.

that truck does look good. the camouflaged BMW on the other hand doesn't look promising.

Beautiful truck! I can't say the same for the camo'd bimmer though. I thought the M5 spyshots looked great but this doesn't really do anything for me. I think it might be the head lamps, they lookk different form the 5er GT. The latter has inward slanting lights, giving it a more agressive look; that might be what the sedan is lacking. At this point I'd take the new E.

I never thought I would see the day when HUYNDAI's new stylying would look better than BMW. What a sad day.

to be honest, Hyundai just copies good looking cars. while BMWs are ugly they are at least original.

Beautiful lines, nice side profile. At the moment it seems that BMW has been playing safe with the front. Difficult to say since it's still quite heavily camouflaged.

I am waiting for this car to show itself, what we see now doesnt show that it's going to be the best looking BMW of all time. I know the car is half seen, however if it stays like this then the new Mercedes-Benz E-class doesnt need to worry because both cars are going to be on the same level, from the design point of view.
But again i really cant wait to see the final product! I hope the picture's are released soon like how the new E-class picture's were leaked.
Does anyone know who designed this new F10 2011 BMW 5-Series? Was it Chris Bangle?

Bangle has retired. New chief of design is Adrian van Hooydonk, who's responsible for this car.

The final design was approved over 3 years ago when Bangle was still at the helm. He would have rubber- stamped it, along with the BMW AG board.

I TOTALLY AGREE MAN! I own a E39 and I thing (many won't agree) this is the BEST LOOKING BMW ever made..

i like it, proportion is similar to today's E60 with a hint of the lovable E39 smooth lines and that borad E38 grille. love it! guess the interior is similar to the 5 Gran Turismo coupled to that fantastic powerplants. i can't wait!

couple of bmw executives? wtf? they have described the car so in all their press releases.

Classic design. Very nice !!! The E-class is compared to this an old men car...@slashers: for years you criticize the Bangle design and call for a conservative line. Now its here and you are bashing again..can?t follow.

WOW! Nice Truck!
How could this be the most beautiful BMW? Looks like a conservative type design like the E39. I still say the E34 is the best looking 5 series of all time.

At least it looks better than the piece of shite from behind... Probably the best looking BMW for the recent years, but this is far from beautiful.
October 21, 2009 2:08 pm
The Maserati Quattroporte is beautiful. The Aston Martin Rapide is beautiful. Even the A5 is quite attractive...but this...beautiful...no...

Why would you list 4 door vehicles and then throw in a 2 door? Makes no sense.
October 21, 2009 4:39 pm
maybe he's talking about the A5 Sportback ?

To me, 'beautiful' and 'BMW' haven't gone together since the Z8. Seeing that this is following in the footsteps of the F02 and the GT, I certainly have my doubts about this being the 'most beautiful BMW of our time'.

It's not better or worse looking, but I don't think the 5 serie GT has fantastic powerplants, I'm just not a fan of turbo's. And looking to that 5 GT this car is going to get a lot heavier. A 520i sedan weighs 1465 kg, a 550i sedan 1635, than look at a jaguar xf 5.0v8 is 145 kg more and E500 is evem 195 kg more.

Seems to be an improvement over the previous one. Not bad. Bit like a 4-door 5-Series GT!
October 21, 2009 4:15 pm
I can't wait to see the final, production version. I hope it is beautiful.
