possible next 5 series spotted (autocar)

Read in autocar that what might (stress might) be the next 5 series estate spotted
There is a photo of a heavily disguised estate on the back of a low loader. Doors have a different crease in them.

Interesting , it may just be muel.

The next gen mules are usually spotted a few months after an LCI is introduced. If the above-referenced pic is not it, surely we'll see one sometime this year.

It looked like a wide bulge on the lower halves of the door. It may just be a desguise. Far too eary to say as it was very heavily disguised.
I'm sure this picture will turn up online sooner or later if indeed it does turn out to be the next generation

It's beyond me how BMW are gonna improve on such a timeless and perfectly balanced sedan. They probably will have no choice but to make the edges more angular in favor of the F10's timeless curves/round edges, and add some fussiness here and there i.e kind of like E60 to E39 (but I'm sure not so drastic or polarizing as they'd learned their lessons.

Hard to tell with that much camo, but the overall shape looks good.

Still wish they'd sell the wagons to us Americans. Don't really like how the hood touches the kidney grills.
