2010 BMW 5-series touring spyshots
Source: Car Magazine / Ben Pulman
These are the very first pictures of the new BMW 5-series Touring. Snapped testing in Germany, the new 5-series estate will boast BMW’s latest Efficient Dynamics technology, Concept CS-inspired looks, an eight-speed automatic gearbox and a further development of the current car’s aluminium and steel platform. But the new 5-series Touring will still have a sloping rear end so if you're after a particularly roomy 5-series we'd suggest its sister, Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS) isntead, which BMW insiders claim offers as much interior space as a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Will it be a good looking BMW 5-series? Should be. Both the dead-in-the-water Concept CS and new 7-series will influence the new Five's design, so expect a big kidney grille and big flat sides. LED eyebrows should also feature, wrapping around the famous 'angel eye' headlights. Size-wise the new 5-series will be around 10mm longer than the existing car, but a shorter front overhang and longer-wheelbase should ensure much more room inside. And to help make this new 5-series the ‘ultimate driving machine’ the options list will offer up active steering, lane guidance, a head-up display, adaptive cruise control and dynamic drive. An eight-speed ZF-sourced automatic – that will improve acceleration and reduce emissions – will also be available. And the engines? The engine line-up should look a lot like this: Diesel: 520d – 2.0-litre 4-cyl turbo 530d – 3.0-litre straight-six turbo 535d – 3.0-litre straight-six twin-turbo The 525d (3.0-litre single turbo diesel) may be dropped for a 523d using BMW’s twin-turbo 2.0-litre diesel. Petrol: 525i – 2.5-litre straight-six 530i – 3.0-litre straight-six 535i – 3.0-litre straight-six twin-turbo 550i – 4.4-litre V8 twin-turbo M5 – 4.4-litre V8 twin-turbo We’ll see the production version of the PAS at the Frankfurt motor show and the new 5-series within the next 12 months, followed by the Touring in 2010, and an M5 next year as well. The new platform will also spawn replacements for the next 6-series coupe and cabriolet, though BMW has cancelled plans for other 6-series variants. |

520d – 2.0-litre 4-cyl turbo
530d – 3.0-litre straight-six turbo 535d – 3.0-litre straight-six twin-turbo ok....but what about 540d , a 3.5 or 4.0 V8......audis have V12 btw 525i – 2.5-litre straight-six 530i – 3.0-litre straight-six 535i – 3.0-litre straight-six twin-turbo 550i – 4.4-litre V8 twin-turbo M5 – 4.4-litre V8 twin-turbo 550i and M5 appear to have same engines...not sure about that , M5 will most likely be 5.2 or 4.9 V10 bi turbo because I think this time they will go with the torque , not power

car and driver OFFICIALLY confirmed that the M5 will have V8 with twin turbos, they said that 550i will most likely decrease in liters but still will have a v8. i am not sure about 550i but they said that because of the fuel crisis and the direction that the BMW is heading with the economy and fuel efficient cars they had to make that choice, but the BMW M5 will most likely have around 550hp. |

I definitely believe the headlights would be scaled down. The eyebrow may curve down instead of up. The eyebrow is my biggest concern.
Or... they may add an extra angel eye? lol |

Heard that a 540d with 306bhp will be released in September along with the new M5. 540 sounds like it will be the same lump as the 335d with increased bhp. Maybe old news now so sorry if its wrong!!
