A lot rumors freed0m,
The F10 will be introduced in '10 more or less, seven years from the introduction of the E60.
The engies develop all the the time, but a turbo for the 4.8 V8 engine is expected, with some +400 hp.
The M3 engine is a V8 with 420 hp one without turbos, and what about the twin-turbo N54 with + 300 hp?
The V10 M5/6 engine will also be updated soon. Look for some 550 hp.
The L4 and L6 gas and diesel engines are developed to low emission ones, just check it out now!
The car pic may be a X6 development car.
The X6 will be introduced in Detroit next year. (Freak you out.)
The next generation xDrive models will get a light weight (4x4) chassi.
New X3 on it's way, in '09

Cool 
Thanks for the engine heads up.
Lovely country you're living in, I used to traveled to Finland (Tampere, Espoo & Helsinki), quite frequently when I was working for Nokia

I don't know about this being 2009, I expect BMW to maintain the 7 year lifecycle.
Also, it's supposed to keep the size but will be slightly lighter.
