I like the artist's rendition, but to be honest - those spy shots look like nothing more than cobbled-up test mules to vet out F10 components. Impossible to know how much F10 stuff is on board, but those images don't tell any story about the F10 exterior as far as I'm concerned. Looks like a wider track for sure - see how much the body is bumped out in front and in back?

...the way things are heading with BMW, any rims smaller than 18" are going to look small. Time to buy shares in rubber!

So only a 5 year model run for the E 60? This car looks like they took an e90 grille and strapped it on an e 60 and muted the headlights a bit.
Not a major change in style, but thats ok.

initially, i thought these were pics of the upcoming facelift for spring 2007. yah, i don't think bmw wants the public to see the entire package yet (exterior cosmetics). so they're just testing different components i.e., new engines/step-tronic, interior, etc......
man, the thought of a bi-turbo V8 is so sweeeeetttttt!!!!!

That's not even a very good photoshop attempt. Sorry. It's too early in the game for the 2010MY redesign. Nice RHD 'photo'. The proof is in the eyes.
