It’s great to see some development of combining hybrid and diesel. It seems that this would give the best all around combination of fuel efficiency, lower CO2 emissions and general “greenest”. I recently read an article on http://www.BMWStory.com about this as well. There’s obviously a growing interest.

Those two pics is not the same car, check the licence plate. One is blue, and the other is grey. The one with plate MD J 2288 is BLUE, not grey.

Yeah, the changes are significant, but not extreme. Judging from the photos, it’s a safe design, but on a car that brings a lot of innovation and new technologies

BMW seems to back to watered down design. After appearance of E60 on a market many BMW customers complaint that E60 is too far away from previous 5-er design language. New 5-er stylistics will aim to satisfy demands of both proponents of E60 and of E39. It would somehow allude to E60 but will drop some of its too distinctive elements. Altohugh I personally like E60 a lot, I believe that it will be a route BMW will try to go.

I like shape of its headlights and L-shape tailights. Especially, the last one is good idea since it’s recently characteristic mark of BMW cars. Such taillights were applied in E46 egihter – a car which many of BMW funs consider as great expression of BMW spirit. I’m glad that front design allude to 5GT since I like this car a lot. Can’t wait to see unveiled F10.

I disagree with all of you i like it a lot even though i havent seen the real deal.
I am confident and hopeful of L-shape taillights i think that you can see them in this photos.

I love how you guys pass judgment on this test mule… lol.

Anyways… Interesting to read about the ‘unique’ design for this model. From what I’m seeing so far, it seems to follow the same design elements as the 7 and 5GT. It’s not the same difference as with the previous 5 and 7. Everything about their designs were different.

But, we’ll see.

I liked the eagle eyes better.
They should have retained that look . .
