2010 New 5 series pics

Stevie Dakota

Well not quite, but I wonder how close these are....

Reckon the 2nd one wont be too far off the mark to be honest based on the spy pics of the GT

fifth

Third one, from the front, kinda looks like the recent Seat Leon.... :pac: Not crazy on any of those designs really.

I really like the 3rd one with the more restrained, smaller grill. I'm no fan of the gaping hole current design.

+1 the smaller grill is much more classy.

I still wouldn't buy any of those, nor the E60/E61. The E39 was the last really nice one they did.

The first one is the most vile looking BMW yet. I hope to **** they don't make it look anything like that, it's truly truly vile:eek:

I remember when the E39 came out, it was criticised for being too evolutionary and soft compared to the E34 (which I still think is the best 5 ever in terms of styling). Still, as a package is was a remarkable car.

When is the M5 out.....oh god cant wait. Need to sell the house, and wife and dog....where is a link the adverts.ie......

Heroditas

Not mad on them to be honest - it's in danger of looking a bit like an Audi/Seat Exeo

Mr Benevolent

The third one is definitely the best. They really have to get away from the Bangle hard lines concept.

I like 1 & 3.

i wonder how many will be sold in Ireland???:D

I like 3 and 4

The last looks like a Volvo.

Proper spy shots of the car have already appeared. I created a thread on them last month: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055618841

Mush of it can be guessed anyway from the 5 series GT.

That must be the reason why it's my favourite. I think it's the neatest and most proportioned design of them all.

I like the last and the third one out of those myself - but still would prefer an A6, or maybe that upcoming A5 coupe or Passat CC I think

Just wondering, but do other people here think that most of the BMW line up are some of the ugliest cars on the road.

The new 7 series is awful. Completely bland. I never thought I'd say it but I prefer the old one.

The 5 series above looks awful (all variants). The 3 series saloon and the 1 series too are terrible.

The only standouts are the 3 series Coupe (a stunner IMO) and the 6 series, although this is now becoming dated. Jury's still out on the new Z4.

Stevie Dakota

Totally agree, I really like the 5, but gone are the days of lusting after BMW's for me. For me it was not only the exterior design that lost me, but the interior design when they moved away from the wraparound dash. I'd go for a nice E39 or e38, maybe at a push an E60.

I kinda like the current 5 series. The pictures above of the 5 series replacement look horrendous though.

#5 looks like an ugly fish imo

Very much so. It's as if they're deliberately trying to be ugly. The grille on the new 7 Series looks absolutely dreadful!:eek:

I think the new Z4 is very nice looking though. I just can't get over how heavy it is for a roadster at around 1.5 tonnes.

Correct, beyond the 3 coupe/convertible and 6 series (not the X6) are the only cars worth looking at.

I've got the E39, had the E34 and I wouldn't buy a E60/E61.

The 3 series hasn't been worth looking at since the E30.

Actually, you know what, I'll make an exception for both the X5 and the X6. I don't mind either of them. I really like the X5 in fact.

The X1 and the X3 on the other hand are shocking.
