F10 5-series (550i) spotted on transport!

Jason · 08-14-2009, 03:38 PM

These are the newest spyshots yet of the upcoming F10 5-series, this time of a 550i FEP car.

Man when are we finally going to see this thing unmasked and not artist rendering or swirly camoflauge....

cristid89 · 08-14-2009, 04:08 PM

It looks like a smaller 7-series, the design is practically the same!

positiveions · 08-14-2009, 04:14 PM

the exhaust is similar of that 7 series.

daveI · 08-14-2009, 04:14 PM

Wow, it looks like BMW has another winner on its hands with that wheel design, it really compliments the car very nicely. Also it looks like the headlights will have a very 'cats eye' look with a sharp edge, similar to the E46 sedan with facelift.. I cant wait!

how do we know that this is a 550i ? (just curious) dual exhaust ?

It does have dual squared off exhausts similar to the 7 series so I would think its the more high spec range topping car (be it 550i or whatever the top model 5 series will be). The 535i should have dual exhausts also, so I wonder if they will be regular round pipes instead of this square shape?

This should be the "5" to end all fives..........

Love the rims, the color etc. Should be a major winner.........

Unlike the E60- when I saw it first unveiled from a spy pic in South Africa in March 2003 I was shocked.............and not in a good way.

Mii · 08-15-2009, 12:03 AM

Great find! The F10 profile looks good even on a transport truck!

Malbolge · 08-15-2009, 02:30 AM

good shot to capture the corner of a headlight. Very happy that it's no longer that rounded weird thing. well done bmw!

keanu1 · 08-15-2009, 03:07 AM

the wheels are great!! i can't wait to see this car unmasked!! I'm sure it will look great!! ihave a e60, so guess what my next car will be!!!

MrHarris · 08-15-2009, 04:08 AM

I wonder how fast the new 550i will be w/ the 400hp TT V8.
