U-G-L-Y, I don't think BMW will step backwards like that... Anyways if the new 5 is gonna look like that... then maybe my next car is gonna be a 7... Thats just plain ugly...
If the new 5 series does look like that pic, then my next car might be a Mercedes. Maybe a SL convertible.
I love BMW, but how a car looks is one of the most important things to me. And that pic of the new 5 series is ugly. Butt-ugly.

Still puzzled about the badging...
540i = 4.8l (i.e. 'old' 550i)
550i = 4.4l-biturbo (should be something like 555i or 560i IMHO to show improvement over current 550i)
Some nice boosting across the rest of the range...
520d from 163ps to 175ps.
525d from 177ps to 204ps (Just about to be boosted to 3.0l/200ps in current range)
530d from 231ps to 245ps.
535d from 272ps to 300ps (Just about to be boosted to 286ps in current range)
525i from 218ps to 238ps.
530i from 258ps to 272ps.
