White and Gray 2011 F10 5-series testing in Holland (9/3/09)

Does anyone know if the v8 version will have a manual transmission? All I hear about is the 8 speed automatic.

Also there will be new "mood" lighting in the interior along similar lines.

Any hints as to whether or not the E92 LCI will get the LED DRLs? Or is that too soon?

Love your site btw

might look like a smaller version of the 7 series

The white one certainly looks like a long wheelbase version to me. Has any past intel hinted at this being offered?

Well in China you can currently get a Long Wheel base 5-series but it is not offered in Europe or the USA. This is prob testing of a LWB 5-series for the Chinese Market.

Thanks, an L version makes sense. That rear door on the white car is huge.
