2011 5 Series (F10) Photos in Jet Black [11/4/09]

Here comes the new BMW 5 Series. This has got to be the most hotly anticipated new BMW in recent memory. While the current E60 5 Series was a bit of a polarizing car, the BMW top brass has promised this car to be the most beautiful BMW is recent history. What does that mean exactly? The car will likely appeal to all the senses and not carry any distracting or ostentatious design cues that some BMWs have had in order to get attention or stand out. This new trend is reminiscint of 1990s BMWs.

The svelte design will be mated to BMWs current generation of engines including the increasing proliferation of turbo technology. The interior has been seen as closely mirroring what is on the new F01 7 Series as well as the F07 5 Series GT. Take my word for it, this is a VERY good thing. The interiors are at the same time elegant, beautiful, highly functional and extremly high quality. Basicly the opposite the direction Benz has taken.

I can no longer count the times people have spit out the rumors of a November 22-24 official presentation date. If true, I would keep my eyes peeled about 1-2 days before then for the first leaks which will be shortly followed by the official release and then the full press meet and greet.

With the release just around the bend, the car should likely be in showrooms and available to order this spring with deliveries in the early Summer 2010.
