2010 BMW 5-Series Rendering

BMW_Dude · 05-06-2007, 11:30 AM

If you’re one of those people that want BMW to get rid of their controversial design language, then these renderings of the next 5-Series, courtesy of Swedish magazine Automotorsport, will probably ring like music to your ears. Personally, I have mixed feelings about BMW’s “Bangle-era” designs. I really dig the Z3, Z4 & 5-Series models, but on the other hand, I absolutely hate the 7-Series and don’t care much about the X3, 1-Series, 3-Series sedan & 6-Series models.

Judging from BMW’s latest - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER concept and what insiders had to say about it, I firmly believe that the Bavarian company will fine-tweak its design language but in no way will they attempt to diminish the controversial factor out of the styling equation.

I know these PSs probably aren't anything like what the new 5er will look like, but I think the car looks very hot!

As I look at the PS and the article, I deduced the following:

There is a strong 3 series influence: the side mirrors are different. One side bears the E90 side mirrors while the other is an E60 side mirrors.
The rear lights are taken from the E92 and re-tailored.
The front end of the car looks more like a 3 series on steroids

I wonder why the discontinuity in the bonnet lip.

Front reminds me of Jaguar's new concept..

So BMW wants more coupe like elements in the next 5er. Though I`m not a really huge fan of the currant generation 5er (except the M5) I like the more upright look better. It`s simply more BMW. This low profile would give the 5er a Japanese flavor, more like a Lexus GS if you will.
