WORLD EXCLUSIVE: The SPIES Get First REAL Details On BMW's Next-Gen 5-Series

Received this exclusive information from a reader, today.

Looks like BMW is going to be doing up the all-new F10 5-Series right!  It seems that everyday news it hitting the wire about this long-awaited product.


"Dear 00R,

I know that you had the teaser shot of the 5 series today, but here's a better update.

if you think you know what the 5-series interior looks like, I have exclusive information proving otherwise.

Here are the key differences from the 5GT:

The new 5 series will be driver focused
- Storage area beneath radio will be gone
- Console sweeps up
     -- Like the E39s
     -- Center stack will be more angled towards driver, more cockpit like
- Window switches that are flat on 3-Series and 7-Series will sweep up like older 5-Series cars
- "Bangled" door handles will change to "pistol-grip" door handles (put your hand in and squeeze to open)

If you felt alienated as an E39 fan and never warmed up to E60, you are going to be in lust for the new car. it is going back to its roots.

The diesel will not be offered right away in US.  But the European diesel with a 6-speed automatic could be the best diesel/transmission combination to ever come out of BMW.

I'll be the first to let the spies know, because the launch is less than a few weeks away on November 23rd.

Sincerely,

Goldfinger"
