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.

Ditto the Mercs and Audis of the time actually. Taking brand themeing too far isn't a recent affliction.
I'm sure the rest will be basically the sedan version of the GT.
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?
Remember the BMW E60. The headlights were so radical/weird then we got used to them. Same story applies here.
