Next Generation BMW 3 Series spy shots

We’ve seen a lot of the 2010 BMW 5 Series testing with camouflage which will come off in 2010. Notably the 5 Series will borrow design aspects from from the CS Concept and the recently launched BMW 7 Series.

The BMW 5 Series’ sibling- the 3 Series is getting ready for an overhaul. It made it’s global debut in 2005 and subsequently found it’s way into India. The test mule photographed here is the 2010 or possibly a 2012 model. Similar to the next-gen 5 Series, design elements will be lifted from the CS Concept.

Rendering- 2010 BMW 5 Series

Days after an image that allegedly is the bumper of the 2010-11 BMW 5 Series propped up on BMW Blog, a talented Photoshop artist has constructed an entire BMW around it.

The lines on the next BMW 5 Series will be a lot fainter with the crease on the bonnet scraping the more rounded headlights. Lots of inputs will be taken from the new BMW 7 Series and the BMW CS concept. The front end design will be influenced by the European Pedestrian Safety standards. The brake lights will be ironed out and will appear more like the BMW 3 Series’.

BMW 5 Series hatchback coming late-2009

German car manufacturer BMW will soon launch the hatchback version of its popular 5 Series luxury saloon. The Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS) executive hatchback will be called ‘BMW 5-series GT.’

The BMW 5-series GT is expected to be unveiled in late-2009. A senior company source has revealed that the 5-series GT is “one of the bravest designs ever signed off by BMW”. However, insiders describe the car as a ‘modern grand tourer with a luxury cabin and interior flexibility’. Well, if the 6 series can do that, then this will also do the same? Well, let’s just hope that the model does not turn out to be a disaster. One thing is for sure, being a BMW, expect the BMW 5-series GT with pin sharp dynamics.

The BMW 5-series GT could be priced between the BMW 5-series and BMW 7-series and pitched at drivers who like a higher driving position but are not keen on a full-scale SUV. It would be more like a crossover than a hatchback.Those who have seen the 5-series GT in the metal describe it as more of a ‘tall 7-series hatchback than a low-rise X6’.
