These new spy photos give us a closer look at the upcoming F10 5 series. What are your thoughts?

When I saw these pictures last week, I was pretty excited by the overall design. Its like a step back into BMW designs of the past although I am not too sure about proportions,.. short stumpy back and a long frontend.

I would give it the thumbs up anyway.

cheers

I wonder how the rear lights work. The inner part seems to be part of the trunk lid. I find it difficult to think that they would 'break' the lines. That would be a pity.

I'm sure it will grow on everyone but for now I think the front looks like a 7 (size wise) and the rest of the car looks skinny

Its hard to tell the stylings and curvings of the Chris Bangle design with that camo but it appears to have very strong lines and flow. I don't like the front air intake, grill. Makes it look very flat and unsporty like. The rear lights remind me of the Lexus GS for some reason....hope they are different. I see a lot of the new 7 stylings with this too (notice the bigger and more aggressive front grilles).

Will make for an interesting transition that's for sure..
