The front end looks like the current MB C class w/a BMW grille.

I wonder if the F10 will have the "classic" driver's side exhaust pipes or the split dual pipes like the 335? When the A6 first switched to the dual exposed exhaust, I really liked that look (and even bought one), but now it seems somewhat played out.

Agreed, a bad photoshop effort. But it is funny to see the responses from E60 owners. I don't think it looks that bad, but we are starting to sound just like a bunch of E39 owners I once hung around with over on Roadfly, until Lomag and Das had the good sense to create this great forum for us E60 owners... I'll be curious to see if the nearly universal dislike of the E60 by E39 owners repeats itself with E60 owners hating the F10!

I'll bet we are pleasantly surprised, I don't think they can make 2 revolutionary changes back to back........but the clock is certainly ticking down for the E 60

I am sure we will be, I have no problem with design changes. And frankly even if the bad photoshop were the actual design, I wouldn't consider it a revolutionary change to the 5 series line. It will certainly be a significant change though, but will clearly use design clues from other BMW models. My point was simply that those who own the old design tend to bash the new design. Should be fun to watch the responses. The E39 guys HATED the E60 when introduced... And judging from some responses, I am beginning to think some E60 owners will react the same way to the F10. Only time will tell and we'll have to wait to see the final design.

saw this 3 weeks ago and I dont like the front, back is OK
but we still 3 years away until it is out so any thing can happen.
If the front is like that them there will be loads of mod on it to not look like that

My Ride: 2008 535xiT (E61) Black Sapphire / Black Leather / bamboo. Steptronic, Full Aero Kit, 35% Tints. 18" Run Flats. All the goodies short of Active Cruise, Comfort Access and the safty options. 2002 BMW R1150R. Red, Corbin, PIAAs, Fiamm,
Default

I left BMW 2 yeqars ago when I traded my 525iT for a Rover.
I'm waiting for my 535xiT to arive within the next 5 weeks.
I still own and love my R1150R so I do have a bias towards the Bimmer and the Beemer.

The reason I left BMW was because I hated the new shape and still miss the more elegant form of my 525.
What I'm saying is that I would buy this car.

And the rear looks like the new 335 coupe.
