My Ride: F11 -14
I found more about the new F11 on WorldCarFans:
"Big changes are also in store for the 5-Series mechanicals, as the new model will feature control-arms up front instead of the MacPherson strut suspension that is currently used. Today's six-speed automatic transmission will be replaced by the new eight-speed unit which debuted on the 7-series while the M5 Touring will feature a new double clutch M-DCT sequential transmission.
Engine choices will include the much loved 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight six, the new twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8, and several diesels including a brand new version which will feature twin-turbo technology. The M5 Touring should return to the lineup a year after the new wagon launches, but power will come from an as of yet unspecified V8 instead of the current V10. Since the new 5-Series sedan is going to be offered in hybrid guise, it seems logical that BMW will also offer a hybrid wagon but that remains to be seen.
