BMW 5-Series

Best spy shots yet of BMW's new executive including undisguised interior pictures

Here's proof that the BMW 5-Series is shaping up very nicely indeed. These latest images show the handsome executive saloon wearing minimal disguise – and it's clear to see that it's going to be one of the best looking cars in its class.

Inspiration comes from the latest 5-Series Gran Turismo with a more upright front grille, less pronounced flame surfacing and a rakish roofline. Inside, you can see that the cabin has been carefully evolved from the current car's with a larger eye-level screen for the simplified iDrive control system.

Entry-level models will get the 2.5-litre petrol straight-six, while a new twin-turbocharged 5.0-litre V10 will power the range-topping M5. Diesel fans will also have the choice of both 2.0-litre four-cylinder and 3.0-litre straight-six twin turocharged oil-burners.

Expect to see the showroom-ready version later this year with sales starting in early 2010.
