Default Spy Photos: 2010 BMW V Series


These spy photo renderings illustrate the future BMW V Series.


A unique C-pillar will provide the V Series with an SUV-like interior.

MUNICH — The 2010 BMW V Series is still years away from its official launch, but spy photos continue to reveal more details about the future BMW model.

Based on the latest spy shots, the V Series is expected to ride on the BMW 7 Series platform. Its high roof line will provide an SUV-like interior, although it's expected to seat only four or five passengers.

As close as this prototype appears to production, the finished design isn't expected until roughly 2009, with an on-sale date as far off as early 2010.

What this means to you: BMW gets ready to compete with the Mercedes-Benz R-Class, and with a more attractive package. — Kelly Toepke, News Editor

Looks pretty cool but.. they need to really think if any of these will actually sell it almost competes with the X6 they're gonna sell.

All the weight and size of an SUV without the utility and offroad capability. Silly that the article compares this to an R class, which is more mini van/station wagon - I don't see how this will have any more interior/trunk space than an ordinary sedan.

Exactly what i was thinking, GS-like. If it is on a 7-series platform, I don't think it will be in the same price range as the GS though

The design of this V series reminds me of the old Merkur Scorpio of the late 80's. Not bad at all..

the rear quarter shot looks too much like IS350.
