Just a little copy paste :D:
"Here is a quick spy shot of the new upcoming 2008 BMW 5 Series caught testing in Germany. it may look like any other 5-Series but if you look closely you?ll notice a new front bumper that seems to be redesigned to improve cooling which can indicate a new engine and gearbox. You can also see the extended arches that indicate a longer wheelbase. The new 2008 BMW 5 Series might not be as long as the one released especially for China but will have more room and new engine including a new 3.0 liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine producing about 310 horsepower. A hydrogen-powered motor is also rumored." edit: Sorry guys this is probably just a F10 mule |
Extended wheel arches, ala MB, absolutely suck. That design idea is awful. BMW has a great aesthetic going. It should just continue to work with that and leave MB design ideas alone.
I doubt that the final BMW 5 er will look anything like that the car in the photo. |

:ermm: Is that an opening duct between the right headlight & the grill to improve cooling?

good observation!! I bet it is - seems pointless with the grills right beside it though... :think:
