2010 BMW F10 5-Series Leaked

2010 BMW 5-Series F10 Leaked Official Photo

The official details of the 2010 BMW 5-Series will be released tomorrow, and as an early treat we bring you a few leaked shots showing the partial front end of the F10 model. The photos were posted on forum site 5post over the weekend.

The new generation model has been described as the most beautiful BMW of our time, according to a BMW official. We can't see a great deal in these photos supporting this statement with little more than evolutionary design elements rather than revolutionary.

An evolution of the current engine line-up is likely to be inherited by the new model - albeit with a few tweaks for better performance and fuel ecomony. If rumours are to be believed, we will also see the introduction of an entry level four-cylinder petrol turbo engine as well.

Keep an eye on WCF tomorrow for full official details.

"Leaked" ... WCF seems to like to this word.

But: those pictures haven't been "leaked" ... just official teaser images.

These photos have not been officially released by BMW yet, therefore, they are considered "leaked". Hope that makes sense.

Brian, you'll be beating a dead horse trying to convince these people otherwise

I think that looks pretty good. BMWs are starting to look real good, especially the new Z4 which I think is one of the best looking BMWs of all time, maybe even the best looking roadster of all time.

Wow. BMW started to look as bland as Audi. 7 series and 5's look very close now. I guess BMW follows Audi with use of same design theme on all cars. Even new 3 series has similar lookin front bumper. Not sayin it's bad but it will take a fanboy to see what's behind you just like with audis.

yup, seems to me that they will all look the same in different sizes

This is hardly a new initiative for BMW. The 3,5 and 7 were like the Three Bears during the 70s and early 80s.

Ditto the Mercs and Audis of the time actually. Taking brand themeing too far isn't a recent affliction.

Nice... (well the bit that is exposed, that is).

I'm sure the rest will be basically the sedan version of the GT.

Oh' visible tendency to the mandatory blandness in industrial product development refers to the sneaking totalitarianism in civil society and it is dangerous! Bangle's one was far better as an act of freedom and even as a curiosity of car industry.

I couldn't agree more about a new totalitarianism that is pervading our lives. The international cooperation between big government and big industry has become very strong in a very short amount of time. There are getting to be so few choices that are actually meaningful.

I disagree, though, that this car isn't a Bangle. He hasn't been gone long enough to not have been in charge of this model through its final or near final form. I never liked his stuff, not even a little. He did enjoy freedom as a designer that few have in recent years, though. Maybe his polarizing designs helped to shorten the leash given to today's designers?

Bangle is not my favorite designer too. All I expect from design in general is simple really but hard to cast into the linguistic mold living language. Is it a grandeur of creative human like it reveals itself in design of old Citroen DS, in Alvar Aalto's chair, in earlier Alfa Romeos or British cars from past decades? May be its just a starvation for some presence of the Holy Spirit in things we do.

yeAH fairly boring but im reserving full judgement till tomorrow, thankfully i dont think it looks like a saloon 5 series gt, the front looks very different. still think the new e class looks better, and of course the xf looks better than both

I don't like the headlights, wait to see the whole car

I agree with BMW's recent headlights, they're all ugly - X1, 5, 5GT, 7

Just makes me miss the E39 that much more... they will never produce a better design IMO even if this F10 is hands above the E60

Every new product is usually hard to be digested but as time passes, we'll all begin to accept it.

Remember the BMW E60. The headlights were so radical/weird then we got used to them. Same story applies here.

"Every new product is usually hard to be digested" - so not true. and i'm disappointed by this new design.

After seeing the X1 and 5GT, there is finally a decent looking non-peformance BMW released.
