I have posted some pics earlier of presumably to come BMW's.
But now the trend seems to to clear:
These are the future BMW kidneys, BIG.
Some more pics from German AutoBild magazine.

Is that the 5 series coupe concept/photoshop?
I also have seen the large kidney grills with the "shark" look shown on the Recent BMW CS concept. I saw that at the IAA Frankfurt and it was an impressive sight.
Totally agree with the kidney grills though -- all current "look in to the future" pics in the press show much larger kidney grills. They worked well on the big CS concept, but not convinced about some of the other concept models.

Model Year: 2007
bmw is putting out too many series 
They should stick with the basics and just focus on improving the reliability and performance 
of the current models and the sales figures will take care of themselves.

Some say it's a competition for the M-B CLS series some say it's a new sport tourer.
I say, BMW tests the new 5-series (F10) concept with these images.

I also like it. The kidneys might be bigger bu they dont look that bad as some other pictures that i have seen of the upcoming 7 series.
I think they blend in really well thanks to the more trapezoid design of the front end
