The new news in this autospies story is that BMW also plans a 4-door coupe variant of the 5 series. We haven't heard that before.
Maybe those photoshop pics represent the 4-door coupe style?

This feels like a MB CLS but with a BMW badge

I'd like to see another 200 horsepower, selectable language/accents on voice command, 7.1 dolby digital surround, 6 more 12 volt plug ins, remote start, and some gauges.

Agree,
I actually would like to see a whole upgrade to the idrive/nav itself. They could almost scrap the whole thing and start over. They could work on the sound system, maybe something on the same caliber as the Mark Levinson systems in the Lexus. And just a lot more luxury looking interior, they are a little bland.

First look at next 5-Series? Although its covered in a disguise.
BMW is starting its first tests of the upcoming all new BMW 5 Series in public in the roads of Munich. The photos, taken this afternoon, are showing a first prototype.
Notice the quad exhaust on the test mule.

I appreciate this is a long long way away from a production model, but it does imply that this car (assuming its a 5er) is also going to include the latest trend of "4dr coupe" lines. The CS also had a more slick / coupe feel about it, with its high waste line and sloping front and rear windows. Looking forward to seeing more of these test mule photos to see if this changes or not...
