Hei,
On the way home earlier this week in southern Finland, I met something on the road that must be new becoming 5. It was followed very close by E61, botht with german plates. I'm glad I had a camera at my reach and heres few pics, not very good though because of the speed and excitement..
I guess the rear end has some same looks as 6series.

Nice pics.
Wouldn't it be great if a large part of the camoflauge suddenly fell off the car
(due to so much testing over the past year)?

More than ever, this car looks low-slung, lean and athletic!

Great pics! If I didn't know any better I'd say you were part of the test crew! :-)

For a while I believed I was. And if you look very close to the first pic, you can see me in left corner of back bumper!

Very nice pics Tommi

That is the new F10!

I wish they test drove it more on our southern spring roads.

What about those thin tires (maybe 225/55 17") and high kidneys?
But what is spilling out of the rear bumper?

The new F10 530i.
