EXCLUSIVE Shots Of BMW's Latest 5-Series

Special kudos go our to reader michael who just happened to stumble upon BMW's latest iteration of BMW's bread and butter 5 Series in the German motherland.

Although these were taken with his cell phone they give you an idea of what BMW's latest 5-series will look like when it makes it to our shores.

Thanks tip Michael, you are our honorary spy of the day!

I think I like it. Not sure about the grill, though, but will withhold final opinion until I see it myself.

Sorry guys, don´t be disappointed to hear it, but
the car on the photos is a new 7 series.

I live in Berlin and i´m a salesman for BMW since 1996,
and the car will be launched on 16.11.2008.
So there are a few cars on the road in Germany without
the badges. Take a look at the interior shot,
it´s definetely a 7 series. a 730d, you see the
round exhaust pipes.

best regards from Berlin

Autospies get's less and less relevant. It's a 7 series. Not a 5.

I'm off to Left Lane News which is where this place gets all it's 'scoops' from anyway.

It's definetly a BMW 7 series, and to add to that, probably a 730i or a 730d (the 750 comes with dual exhausts seperated.)

In my opinion, it looks hot in black.

I agree with both of you. The new 7 looks far better in these pics than in the promo pics. The proportions look MUCH more flattering here.

The 7 series looked like a let-down when it was unveiled. Some later shots looked promising, but these pics look horrendous

The new 7 is one of those cars that look much better in dark colours. I think black will be the best colour on it.

I bet, even my GirlFriend will say...its 7 not 5 stupid!!
I think its 735i or 735d. I dont think so they make 730 anymore.

It's a 7-series.

Even if the nest gen 5-series were this far in development, there is no way that an OEM would allow it to drive around with this little covering.

You guys are all full of it if you say the CLK 63 is a chick car or that it sucks.
I have a CLK 550 cab, you may say it s a chick car but its plenty fast, more luxurious and bigger than your 3 series bimmers.
Also the front end of the new 7 is not very nice. The proportions of the rest of the car are very nice and the interior is much better but the grill has got to go.

Hachee2001 - 9/10/2008 10:54:12 AM

Of course we know what a black series is...it's a very rare CLK with a monstrous engine and other mods, super expensive, meant to inject some profits at MB and some balls to the CLK line, which it desparately needs.

For the record, I'm not a Benz hater...I just haven't loved them for a long time, but the CLK range is especially pretty, and just too feminine looking. I always expect to see some 60 year old female empty nester driving them.

Of course it's too early for a 5 to be seen like that, and the "editors" should have known it was a 7, but I have to admit, it does look a lot like what I'd expect the next 5 to look like. I think I like it too...kind of old school BMW.

I'm going to have to wait and see this car in person to make my judgment. Sometimes photos don't do justice and sometimes photos do too much. It's inspired by that BMW concept that we've seen on this site. Like I said I won't judge until I see better quality photos or even better, in person.

I blew the doors off of an M6. The M6 gets nowhere near the attention that my car gets. It's obviously not because it looks girly. The regular clk coupes serve that purpose. You can doubt all you want. Do whatever you want to make yourself feel okay about me driving the Black Series.

What happened to Bangle's flamer surfacing?

Looks a little better than the current one although the current rear-ends of the 7 and 5 don't look like they fit with the rest of the car. Maybe its the elongated nose that pushes the cabin back, which in turn pushes the trunk back that makes it seem like it sticks out awkwardly.

The 5 series needs a makeover too. IT's a nice modern looking car but the headlights are a little hard to digest.
