Double agent Photo: Next-Generation BMW M5 Shows Its Visageme
Yesterday we brought you spy photos of . next-generation BMW .5. lapping the Nurburgring. Today, the car'. front bra came off, and even through the pyschodelic camo livery, you can get . good idea of what the redesigned .5 will look like. Immediately, this strikes you as . less radical face than that of the current .5. It also suggests that, like the 2009.7 Series, the next 5 Series will return to conservative styling.
You can also see the prominent power bulge in the .5 prototype'. hood. Since the .5 story dropped yesterday, sources close to the project have told us that …10 engine is definitely not in the cards, leaving the twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter .8 as the next .5'. most likely powerplant.
You'll remember that we reported that the redesigned 2011 BMW 5 Series would make its debut at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show. If BMW follows the same timelines it did for the current generation, we won'. see the Motorsport version of the 5 Series until model-year 2013.
