I read that BMW rotates designs every generation Between Evolutionary and revolutionary. The E60 is Revolutionary, the F10 is Evolutionary.

BTW Audi is the Fastest Growing, not Benz. America and Japan are catching up realy fast though.

Lastly, its not about the looks, its how it drives

A 400 horsepower twin turbo V8? This car has a twin turbo V8, and it only puts out 400 horsepower? A twin turbo V8 should be putting out somewhere between 450 – 600 horsepower. This car seems very underpowered.

Have you gone mad ? This BMW is a marvel and those looking for more stance will certainly find it in the M variant. But the new Eclass from Merc is a declaration to ugliness. Bah humbud to Merc. Long live the King. i was rooting for Audi but they really dropped the ball on that A6.

Indeed X-Drive much needed.

Anybody who drives to ski resorts will strongly desire AWD. Or.. gets stuck in snow, or has to drive to work regardless of condition.

Or, anybody who’s tried to enter traffic and failed to launch –dangerously– when the road was wet.

Plenty of good reasons for AWD. Not in SoCal, but most other places.

Exactly, the 5 GT is a niche product so it has to look somewhat exclusive, odd I would even say, while the 5 Series has to be a mass seller and hopefully the margin profits are large on it.

why would u want a x-drive version. this new 5 series will feature new 8 speed sport automatic transmission. plus it will handle like the new x5m and x6m.. i guarantee you this car will do it all…you dont want to mess up the drifting plus awesome handling of a rear wheel drive with a x-drive.. trust me i have driven the new 750i and 750i with x-drive the regular 750i with rwd handles better…

In other words, will there be a 550xi or 535xi (4-wheel drive) version of the sedan?

according to me bmw has gone completly nuts .the last 5 was totally an extrovert and aggressive design..which i just loved(n even my countryfellows) and this new one is an introvert and almost conservative.the new one has a number of lines on bonnet,side..but designers forgot a car’s beauty is not defined by no of creases it has but overall stance is what matters.in india beemer 5 is an hugely expensive machinery and when someone pays that kinda money the person needs to show off his car..which the lastbeemer5 did but the new one mises everything.i think bmw is going to give its throne to merc e in india,which is the highest growing luxury car market.

This design is growing fast on me. Just look at the bonnet. It has such distinct lines on it. Its great. The GT is more of an exclusive design whereas this is a mass market product which I think BMW is going to do really well given the comments I have seen and heard on the design. One would be a fool to buy and Audi or Benz when the other option would be grand car which this seems to be.

Will there be an x-drive variant as well?

It looks like a Japanese car with those stupid exhaust tips. Pass me some rolled quads, please.

Not for the 550i, but you can get the 535i with a manual if you want to.
