"Based on the latest and some of the most revealing spy photos of the 2011 BMW 5 Series, our friend Jon Sibal decided to show us what could be hiding underneath that very light camouflage.
Judging by the spy shot posted by us earlier today, we believe the rendering is very close to the actual design, maybe with a slight adjustment at the bottom of the headlights area.
Looking at the car from this angle, the sleek, svelte look is in line with what we have seen so far. The rendering also features a low roofline and short overhangs, design cues that we’ve been mentioning several times in the past few months."
hmmm.. i dare say that i might like it like this (even though the headlights are still "safe")

The nose just looks "smashed". Looks like someone through on the front end of a 06-08 e90 on a much wider and larger sedan. 
:thumbsdown:
Minus those enlarged kidneys.

it looks like a bigger E90, with a few tweaks.

If this is close to the final look, I like it. A lot of resemblance to the E39.
