Could this really be the new 
When you think of luxury executive saloons, one car always comes to mind, the BMW 5-series. A class leader since its inception, the 5-series remains a crucial car to BMW. With the current E60 5-series introduced back in 2004, BMW is preparing the sixth-generation model to be revealed in 2010. It will be a tough job for the designers as well as the thousands of engineers working across BMW�s development centers to renew the current model, a car that already resides at the edge of the technical front line. The new design is critical for BMW�s design manager Adrian van Hooydonk and his team, who have to create an exterior that radiates the brand�s distinctive design values and at the same time feels new and fresh. Using information from various sources, these renderings were compiled by our partners over at Sweden�s Auto Motor and Sport and their illustrator Radovan Varicak, giving us a preview of what the final version will look like. The front-end will likely feature a more upright kidney grille in order to comply with stronger pedestrian protection laws, while the headlights won�t be stretched out like on the current model. BMW�s characteristic interaction between convex and concave shapes will still be emphasized, and will be clearly indicated in the engine hood�s lines.
