Yawn. Looks soft and bland, esp as it looks like a 5er/7er, down to the kink on the bottom of the doors. Why can't they just make this car the 5er? Why do they need a same looking but slightly taller vehicle to be the 5er?

Got my interest, nice. BMW is well aware of the influence and success of the Mercedes CLS sedan.

And even if the rear seat space is somewhat limited by the styling (it's not a deal-killer in this relatively new class of cars), it's still a much more usable back seat than any similar sized coupe.

, pure sexiness, i think they using the 7 platform, cause the new 5 is riding on a shorten version of the 7, just like the CLS riding on the E-class? either way i know who they aiming for with this

Beautiful! I think some styling elements on this concept will be seen on the upcoming 6 series coupe

Fellow bimmerpost member Alverez rendering.

BMW currently has 9 vehicles under camo that are undergoing testing on the ring.. This beauty would make number 10 if given the green light! It never gets boring when it comes to BMW.

This should have been the new 5 Series design. It looks great

.

I wouldn't be surprised however that the production version of this vehicle is a little bit toned down seeing as this is a "concept".

Styling wise, this thing is perfection. Would love to see in person.
I don't think it would look as good with lighter colors though.

Nice but it looks like a 6 series with extra doors. Nonetheless, its hot.

looks a little awkward.

i like the side character creases and stuff. But the trunk looks a tad long and low.

i think it looks better with a longer greenhouse, shorter trunk lid, and lower sills
