My Ride: 2005 545i with everything
http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/03/2010-...ouring-and.html
One of Carscoop's readers stumbled upon a whole convoy of 2010 BMW 5-Series prototypes this morning as he was heading for his morning chores in the centre of St Remy de Provence in the south of France. Martin O'Connor was quick to snap these photos depicting the whole 2010 BMW 5-Series 'familia' that consisted of the four-door sedan, the station-wagon Touring and of course, the 5-door liftback-thingamajig that the Bavarian's call Gran Turismo.
It is expected that BMW will perform the world debut of the production 5-Series Gran Turismo (see the concept here) at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show in September with the sedan and touring variants following suite in a major car show in 2010. Sales of all three body-styles will begin next year.
Powertrain options for the new 5-Series range will consist of naturally aspirated and turbocharged gasoline engines including the revamped 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six with 326HP and the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 with 408HP, plus the usual turbo diesels.
At the top of the range buyers will find the M5 sedan and Touring models powered by a new twin-turbocharged V8 engine delivering well over 500HP that will make its first appearance on the X5 M and X6 M replacing the current M5/M6's 507HP V10.

Well, they will! 5-series GT....
Is the new GT a F15 or F20 or what?
Will the new 3-series be a F30, something like the nostalgic E30?

I'm not sure if one of those cars is the GT...I think they disguise is making it look like the GT but I'm skeptical that it really is one.
Since the GT has been "unveiled" and it close to being available, I don't understand why they'd still be running it in disguised trim...

The two first ones maybe the GT's but not the closest one to the camera.
It's a F10 535i or something.
