2011 BMW 5 Series???


At first I thought the car behind the new 5 Series GT hatchback was the new 5 sedan.
But... It could be the current 7...

The fact that it's hard to tell is a little sad...

7 series.

The panels & wheels are exactly the same!

hard to tell? you can clearly see the 7 series tail lamps and 7 series wheels.

5 series is introduced on the 24th.

It's a LOT sad. Especially at these prices!

If that's the 7-series... then the new 5-series GT is freaken huge!!! It completely dwarfs the 7-series greenhouse, wheels, tail-lamps, etc. And that's not because the car in the back is farther away from the camera.

I still think it's the 7-series though.

By the way, I went to look at the new GT and I was VERY impressed. Exterior is so-so but the interior is just breathtaking. This car is all about how you feel inside. So much space and so much comfort.

The GT is raised which gives you always the impression it's bigger.

I noticed that BMW shows an interior on their site with a Google browser screen:

Yeah several BMW models look fairly similar (just like Audi more or less).

It's definitely the 7-series. Not being able to see the long nose makes it seem shorter than it really is.

Education Project: The 5GT uses the same wheelbase as the SWB 7-Series.

There's a 5 series render (two of them) in the December Car and Driver. Check it out, I had a real hard time figuring out whether it was the real thing!
