Current expectations are that a new style 5 series will be introduced in 2010 as a model year 2011.

What is interesting to think about is that the first design sketches of a new 5 series already extist. And sometime in 2006 all of the vehicle specifications (dimensions, performance, etc...) will be settled and a physical shell of the car will be shaped.

Here's a description of the development process for the new 3 series ....

I read 2012 in a UK mag recently, but that could mean introduction in 2011 with volume shipment in 2012. If they're right.

Remember the famous BMW lawyers quote: It's whatever model year WE SAY it is....[read: 2010 intro of a 2012 model...in February.]
