basil (236hp) Quote: Originally published by Trier Germany BMW assembly plants are awesome. I had the chance to visit the Regensburg assembly plant last year. I hate you, I would love to do this on my vacation.

kendra123 (843hp) Wow that's cool.

jeopardy (410hp) So cool 2c on video..

humaira (539hp) I saw the Leipzig factory in 2008 during an ED trip. The biggest disappointment was not being able to take photos.

progamer (647hp) Video below... EDIT: Hmmmm built-in not working:

The biggest disappointment was not being able to take photos. yeah, I wish I could have brought my camera! I visited the Munich factory last summer. It's truly amazing to see these cars come together before your eyes. I would recommend the tour to everyone. It's great!

11091979 (465hp) The photography is really nice on this one. And the article is well written. I really enjoyed this article. Follow the link below for the full article or just read the quotes. Quote: We are now officially 37 years after the introduction of the first generation 5 Series and we still haven't gotten over it. Quote: When we're in relaxation mode, the new 5 Series seems almost ideal and doesn't look like a boat at all. Then we add Sport+ to BMW's Driving Dynamics Control system and turn off all stability control systems when it's safe to do so, and the 2011 BMW 535i's gnarlier spirit shines through. through the nicely toned-down interior redesign. Quote: Van Hooydonk and his team, like all design teams these days, have had to give primary attention to new regulations that attempt to minimize pedestrian injuries during the type of low-speed impacts seen in overcrowded cities (a big problem in Europe). , apparently), and this recent phenomenon has truly been a game-changer when it comes to style. Quote: BMW is going to try to keep the cost of the fully optional Sport package at around $4,500 for North America and, honestly, that's another add-on for the 535i that you should add. Quote: Five laps of Estoril demonstrated the ability of this big car (the biggest in the segment) to feel less big than all its competitors. Quote: When we first saw the 2011 BMW 5 Series, Munich executives told us that the base price of the 2011 BMW 535i would remain the same as the 2010 BMW 5 Series, whose base price is $51,250. Well, maybe it was Portugal's heady sea air, but these same executives just told us that the decision has been made to price this new and improved 5 Series below the outgoing model. Are we looking at a possible base price of $49,999.99 for the 2011 BMW 535i? Wait-and-see attitude.

It's not it's not a good thing in my opinion. The outgoing 5 may have its detractors, but its unique and confident look makes you proud to own one. You didn't confuse it with a stretched 328i. I think it looks great, but it's better to give the F30 some bold and unique styling to set it apart..

198506 (676hp) This car will be very successful!

20032008 (968hp) Excellent review. Great car. The photography is spectacular in this article.

200191 (352hp) Excellent review. Great car. The photography is spectacular in this article.

nonford (974hp) I was invited to drive the new 5 Series this week in Europe as part of the North American press presentation. We'll be driving the 535i and 530d and will have access to several BMW engineers and marketing teams on the 5 Series. Just curious if anyone here has any direct questions, photo requests, etc. regarding the new 5. They probably won't confirm anything about the M5, but I'll do my best..

whyme1 (99hp) Yes. I posted on your comment on the E90 forum that I would be interested in your thoughts on the new 5er as a serious driver's car. BMW seems determined to make each new model longer and heavier than the one it replaces and, naturally, the F10 is bigger than the E60. This all seems counterintuitive given the increasing MPG demands, so let us know what you think and how it compares to previous models..

summer23 (472hp) Can you post VINs of these test cars? I would like to know what special tricks they have on board.

buster16 (462hp) Let me know when the estimated arrival date of the 535i and 535xi for the US market will be. Also, will the price of the 535xi be cheaper or the same as the current car ?.

The US release date is question 1. And if it will be shown at a US car show like Chcago next month. Finally, will there be any cars from advanced manufacturers to test before release (which Mercedes did last summer with the E class) Thanks!

jhonatan (154hp) I will of course check, but my understanding is that they will be rolling it out in New York in early April and it should be in dealerships around the same time. I will still confirm.

0301 (602hp) Where is the meeting, nice Munich but you never know. I'm in Germany right now, maybe I could drive there just to check them out. THANKS

17011988 (70hp) Will we have a manual transmission option?

qqqq1234 (980hp) Check out a 535is on offer. That would be nice and it looks like they are using this mod package across the board. Will it happen in the 5th?

091085 (16hp) Apparently it will be launched in Geneva, then in New York..

Danster535D (109hp) Availability of US M sport? Who made/why was the decision made to make 3.5 and 7 different size vehicles of the same BASIC style? congratulations and good test... hope you can take and share photos...

checker1 (293hp) Has a report been written on your driving experience? Sorry if I missed it, but I was looking. THANKS.

estrellas (16hp) http://kilometermagazine.com/artman2..._BMW_535i.html

goldwing1 (764hp) I am really curious to know what is the difference between the new 5 and the new 7. If there is no difference in terms of technology but in price, then how are they targeting their market as well, the 550 will have- they have the X-drive version ?

class2004 (440hp) I hope you enjoy the ride and come back to us with a very positive impression.:-)

Rocky1 (654hp) Quote: Originally posted by hc7777 I'm really curious what the difference is between the new 5 and the new 7. If there is no difference in technology but price, then how do they target- they also their market, will the 550 have the X-drive version The new 5 is very close to being a 7, especially with all the technological options available. The differences come down to size and an extra sense of gravity in the 7. It's simply a car with a more substantial feel. As for xDrive, all 5 Series models will be available with xDrive from fall this year: 528i, 535i and 550i. There will also be a manual 550i with M-Sport package (rear-wheel drive only).).

07041983 (681hp) My dealer mentioned that the 535i intro would be pushed back to June or July. Anyone else know when we might get our new 5? What would be the first delivery time in euros? When should prices be published?

What would be the first delivery time in euros? When should prices be released? The earliest for ED is July 1. Prices will be published at the end of March, beginning of April. The price of the 535i should be slightly lower than the current price and the 550i a little higher..

GarGar (969hp) The sales manager at my local BMW center said prices would be released in the next two to three weeks. Bryan@mwerks, what have you heard when the prices are released ??

babala123 (196hp) Quote: Originally posted by pharding The sales manager at my local BMW center said prices would be released in the next two to three weeks. Bryan@mwerks, what have you heard when the prices are released? This seems fair. The car will be presented at the New York Auto Show in early April and prices will be announced about a month before. So yes, probably in the next three weeks.

181293 (432hp) What color is it on your link? Is this a model? Seems too light for Space Gray and too metallic titanium (sheet steel). I would choose this color in a heartbeat. PS. I mean the first big photo, not the bottom ones which are space gray.

DPKK (941hp) All the British rags who tested it were more than impressed with the car, but each time the cars were fitted with just 18 rims and the full chassis dynamics package so they were seen at their best . The unfortunate thing is that few people will order their car this way because the car needs the 19 to be at its best and the dynamic package costs an arm and a leg..

softball00 (896hp) Anyone know if the new 5-er would be at the Canadian International Auto Show?

070188 (809hp) I don't think so. I was on the show's media site and BMW was only announcing a new version of the Z engine and a new, greener version of the 7. I hope I'm wrong and I would love to see the new one there. 5..

JP810 (168hp) The new 5er will receive its world premiere (public auto show) at the Geneva auto show in March. The car won't hit the US/Canadian market until June and will make its first US appearance at the New York Auto Show. The European launch date is closer since it is set for March 20. Geneva is getting closer to the European launch date. The new 5er is one of the 10 BMW world premieres (products and innovations) which will take place in Geneva.

Petro94 (277hp) Hello, I just saw the preview of the new 5 and the car is simply stunning in real life. In the photos, it may seem a little heavy but in real life, for me it is the perfect 4-door car from a design point of view. Inside, you feel that the car surrounds you much more than the E90 and E60. The quality inside is also MUCH better than the E90 and E60 - it's really nice to touch everything and it's nice to turn and push the controls. Ulrik

smellycat (215hp) Good news! Is the interior quality similar to the 5 Series GT ??

help4me (874hp) I think so. It looks very similar in photos but the F10 is much more intimate and up close (as it feels), which I really like. The 5 GT was also there but had comfort seats that made a difference, but even the 5's standard leather seats are pretty decent. The 5GT's rear seat is very laid back, which I found a bit odd and not very comfortable..

BardG (953hp) From the editorial: All-wheel drive will be offered on all engine variants (automatic only) by the end of the year. Can anyone else corroborate? I've seen few details about the xDrive models, probably because they won't be released until the fall, but it's disappointing. Current 5 Series models offer xDrive with manual transmission option, so I hope they don't remove it. I currently drive a 328i xDrive manual and was really looking forward to a new 528i xDrive manual next spring. I realize that manual transmissions only make up a small fraction of sales and probably an even smaller fraction of those are xDrive models, but give me a break, I live in Michigan.!

iloveyou96 (590hp) Has there been any discussion regarding the timing of the M-Kit for the 550, I'm planning my ED of a 550i for the first week of August...fingers crossed on M-kit availability.

baby04 (561hp) I just took delivery of a 2010 BMW 528i and since I got home from the showroom the car has been moving from right to left to right at highway speeds. The dealer lined the car up and checked everything else, everything was within spec. The service manager drove the car with me and felt the same way. I have driven 2 other new cars with the same results. I have the sport pack with 18 run flats. I have since asked a BMW field engineer to test drive the car, he said it was like the others he drove, but in good faith he just gave me the new Bridgestone Potenza to see if it was the tires. I just took it home and from 60 mph to 90 mph the car still wanders. Does ANYONE have this same problem or know of a solution??? BMW says everything is fine. This is not the case!!!!

09021977 (962hp) here is the F10 forum..check the tires

faulkner (987hp) I don't know exactly why, but I find it disappointing. Not bad but it doesn't get my juices flowing. The rear seems a bit Japanese to me, like the Infiniti G37. I love the interior though.

urbanity (800hp) Personally, I think the car looks great. I hope it drives as good as it looks.

julies (779hp) It looks a lot nicer than the pseudo-Batmobil they've been selling for the last few years.

4747 (210hp) 1

clemens (463hp) very nice...and nice to see that the LCI e90 has styling cues that are very evident in the latest/upcoming BMWs here, represented by the new 5.

tasha12 (617hp) GOOD. I love it! The back is so well done. I have a few issues with the front, mainly the lower outer edges. Still, it's a perfect profile, and the character line is perfect.

stepa-2009 (947hp) Quote: Originally posted by TonyMeister Toyota Avalon?! Are you serious?! Have you already heard of the 5er E34 or the 7er E32? he was probably 10 when they came out and he doesn't remember them anymore.

werwerwer (11hp) I love the look of this car (not surprising as I currently own an e90 and it looks like a big brother). My only issue with choosing is the edge of the hood line on the top of the front of the car. Perhaps less apparent on darker colors. Still, overall it's a beauty.

3691215 (609hp) Those shift paddles look NOICE! Can we have a photo in black?

r00ster (854hp) WOW. This might be the most beautiful BMW I've ever seen. I love it from every angle, inside and out. Great job, BMW! Congratulations!

080890 (53hp) I'm in love...incredible!

bmwmmm (475hp) pfff WTF! no 535d :/ and I don't know about the rear :/

olivia05 (573hp) I need time with the rear

adr (566hp) Many posters praise the new design of the 5er, but then they start to wonder what the M-sport will look like. This seems to me to be a rather contradictory point of view..

purple0 (931hp) Looks like I'm late to the party, but damn, I like it A LOT!

tazman (493hp) WOW!!!

car_fan (352hp) Great job...not so sure about the rear tails...it was a little predictable for me...but the black lines are so bold...would love to see it lit up at night...the rear 7 is way too sick This is the most mature E90+5+7 I've ever seen.

ilovemike2 (460hp) Am I the only one who doesn't like the flat look of the back cover? look directly from the side profile of the car, compared to the front the trunk lid appears flat.

greggy (654hp) I think when we all see it in person it will be just awesome! Most of the time I found these press images misleading. We need a natural environment all day and other cars around it. Still, I think BMW has done a good job of appealing to the people who primarily buy these 5 series. Sleek and sleek! Greeting

ichbincool (282hp) Quote: Originally posted by Theride It looks more like the E90 than anything else. What's wrong with looking like the e9x??? It's actually a compliment!

smiley2 (604hp) It looks too much like E90. Long live the E39.

Oksana (920hp) I don't know exactly why, but I find it disappointing. Not bad but it doesn't get my juices flowing. The rear seems a bit Japanese to me, like the Infiniti G37. I love the interior though.
