PR Stunt? BMW 2010 5 Series Gets Caught By Media After Being Pulled Over By Police

What we have here is a video of a heavily cladded car whose shape is obviously that of a BMW mid-size sedan with an interior covered in a pair of dashboard humps (the center hump is definitely fake) and some shiny metal knobs that probably will be modified for production. The actual interior will be like that of the new 7 but with some elements in common with the 5GT

No amount of publicity will help that ugly POS.

The 2010 5 Series is already in showrooms. If you mean this might be the 2011 5 Series, I suppose it's possible but the interior seems to be very F01, except of course for what appears to be a manual transmission. And the body would appear to be a heavily cladded E65.

Whatever this is, it definitely ain't a 2010 5er.

Whats lame is that BMW makes every new generation of a car look like the previous model of the class series above it. This new 5 looks like the previous 7. Thats just my opinion.

Whoa, I hope that's not the final interior look.

hate the steering wheel design. That's the same as in new 7 series, i like current 5 series's steering wheel design more.
