Quoting a UK website:
5-Series latest

"5-Series (Starting price approx. £25,000). New model is set to be launched in 2002, with the touring the following year. Described as "the ultimate driving machine for the business man". Hybrid construction sees the front-end constructed from Aluminium. By using aluminium BMW hopes to reduce weight significantly & ensure a more favourable front-to-rear weight distribution & improved handling. All petrol engines will feature Valvetronic system, while the diesel units will receive a second-generation common rail system operating at greater pressure for improved performance. Inside the 5-Series the iDrive system will be an option."

This is absolutely ugly! I'd rather have the concepts posted in the other 5er thread. Look at that rear!! Looks like a bloody Aztek! It's huge and ugly! It's so bare and plain! I'm a fan of having the plates on the boot lid, because most car companies don't use that space well anyways. The headlights are also too small, as is the grill.

Back-end looks like a Dodge.

Why are they ruining the 5 series? The e39 body is so classy. They don't have to do a damn thing to it. Who ever designed that car is an idiot.

I merged your previous thread into the other thread about the new 5-series.

Do not continue to start new threads on the same topic please.
