'Man muss Mut haben, in ein neues Segment einzusteigen'
Ich bin sicher, dass es ein im Entstehen befindliches Werk ist.

My Ride: 2005 545i with everything
The X series cars are a blemish on the BMW brand. Let's take a 5 series, make it heavier and taller and sell it for more. What happened to the ultimate DRIVING machine? I wouldn't be caught dead in one.

My Ride: BMW 530i _2004_Space Grey
it doesn't say anywhere that this is the new 5 series. it basically says that it is a new cross-over vehicle with the 5 series platform... right?!

As spied already, the Progressive Activity Sedan will be one of the new models using the new 5-, 6- and 7-series platform. In the latest issue of my house bible auto, motor und sport, it's revealed that the car will be called GT. The new series is yet another niche product that BMW thinks will give a much needed increase in revenue (they're way behind Audi and MB for the moment and the share price has plummeted lately)
Must say that - we'll see.
Got the BMW Magazine yesterday and they wrote than the new hybrids will come out this year.
As 7- and X6 Series models.
