2010 BMW 5-Series Spotted At The Ring, We Get All Up In Its Grille

There's been some speculation as to the design direction of the 2010 BMW 5-Series. Specifically, there are those who wondered if it would be a conservative and evolutionary move from the E60 or a more drastic change similar to the BMW CS Concept. These spy photos, which show an undisguised grille, seem to point a larger and smoother opening more similar to the CS than the 2008 BMW 5-series. All the better for a twin-turbo V8 to breathe with?

If only the next 5 Series or 7 Series was going to look like that. Unfortunately, neither of them will.

I actually think the CS concept is fugly so I'm glad neither of them will look like that.

Hopefully, Lexus does the same with the GS soon...

You think the next GS needs a bigger grill ?

I don't think the next GS really needs to be bigger overall, it just needs bigger interior space & a bigger, a better-designed & shaped trunk with more efficient utilization of space ...
