5 Series Redesign Unveiled (Photos)

[Kerrath]

not a fan.. looks better but generic and bland.. i'll stick with the e39 tks.

Generic and bland? You described the e39 with that in my opinion. That new 5 is a great improvement over the e39 in my opinion. I'll take an E60 though.

You're entitled to your opinion no matter how wrong it is.

a bit off topic but has anyone heard of the '0-series' FWD BMW being unveiled '11 or '12?

Yup. Based on the third gen new mini. FWD bmw. I can't wait.




Nice, nice, nice, nice, fail, fat lard.

You need to get your eyes checked before you cause an accident.

Why? I know ugly when i see it. and 5-series #4 is ugly. It is rounded, not boxy like 5-series #'s1-3. and a rounded BMW's are ugly.

Looks good to me... anything fun going under the hood?

[mikeedler]

it looks nothing like the new 3er-- It looks like a miniture twin of the new 7er craphouse. Everything on that car is copied from the new F01-- and damn I hate em- nothing but problems- we have had 2 now that were given back by the customers and told BMW to shove em up thier ass.
hopefully this thing isnt going to be as bad with windnoises and such.

Kidneys way too big

for a new car, I like
but I like my old e30 just fine

i initially like it in the op pics but looking at the timeline pic of all the 5's the whole front end looks funny. like a cone or something. maybe just the angle or something. idk. i love the rear though.

Downgrade from the E60 IMHO. Looks pretty boring and lacking in personality.

F10 weight gain vs E60
523i: +125kg
528i: +105kg (vs old 530i)
550i: +170kg
520d: +130kg
525d: +110kg
530d: +135kg

Aerodynamic efficiency has also taken a backward step – the old car not only has a smaller frontal area but also a low drag coefficient from 0.27. The new car starts from 0.28, rising to 0.29 in 535i and 0.30 in 550i. This is a night and day difference from the latest Mercedes E-class, whose Cd ranges from 0.26 to 0.28.

Nice job BMW :up:

looks more like a 3, which is a good thing. kidneys are still overtly large, though. branding fail.

probably for cooling?

Horay for finaly fully de-banglizing the 5er!

x100

the taillights could be a bit smaller, but other than that--perfect!

5er stopped at the E39.
