Just a little copy paste 
:
"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.

If it is an F10 mule, it looks promising as the driver is really grinning.

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