Thanks for the heads-up. I wouldn't dismiss the hybrid as boring yet. The ActiveHybrid 7 seems to pack some HP with its new engine.

Probably a good idea, still it a bit boring though

I wonder when they'll launch the F10 5er then. There's no massive glamour car shows for the rest of the year. I can't imagine them waiting right up until Geneva in March 2010. That's around the time when they start getting delivered to German customers. Maybe one of the American shows in December/January.

The new Fxx 5 series GT will be premiering in Frankfurt.

Fact is that "the new F10" has been kept a very good secret, yet...

The renderings of the regular 5 have been good and bad. This fairly recent one gets my approval:

+1 there's nothing I dislike about it. I couldn't say the same for the E60 when it came out. It took a long time for me to like it.

I believe the debut is set for Geneva, in March.
