Just mere hours before the official unveiling of the 2011 BMW 5-Series, a batch of photos of the new car have leaked into the internet. The official unveiling happens tomorrow – the 23rd of November 2009 – but these new pictures have shown enough of the new 5 to aid with imagining how the front-end of the car will look like.
Codenamed F10, the design of the new 5 – with it’s new headlights, bigger kidney grille and overall size – is rather unsurprising and speaks the same design language as the 5-Series GT which in turn was inspired by the latest 7-Series.
Expect the new 5 to be offered with the same engine and model variants as the current E60 models plus a new mix of turbocharged petrol and diesel engines.
Unless someone drops the lid on the new sixth-generation 5-Series earlier, we’ll have all the information on the car when it’s officially launched later tomorrow.
