2011 BMW 5 Series Caught Testing in Munich
MUNICH, Germany — The latest prototypes of the 2011 BMW 5 Series have been caught once again on the streets of Germany, and like most of the test mules we’ve seen before, they indicate only evolutionary design changes for BMW’s next midrange sedan.
Unlike the current BMW 5 Series that ushered in a whole new design philosophy, the next-generation (known internally as F10) will most likely soften the current model’s line instead of reinventing them once again. The overall size of this prototype doesn’t appear substantially different, so we don’t expect any major changes in terms of passenger room either.
Although the quad exhaust pipes in back suggest a Motorsport division car, the wheel and tire combination says otherwise. There’s a good chance that the top-of-the-line versions of this 5 Series will use the same twin-turbo V8 introduced in the 2009 BMW X6. Some rumors also suggest that an eight-speed automatic transmission will be used.
What this means to you: If the current shape of BMW’s 5 Series doesn’t do much for you, the next-generation model probably won’t either
