Ben is a fan of the new 5.

BMW took the wraps off its new 5-series (F10 chassis code)

The car has a lot of the new 7-series in it's design language. I am a fan of the E60 and a HUGE fan of the E39 so I enjoy both the wilder and more classic BMW shapes. This design is a mixture of both with some sweeping lines on it's profile and a more upright facade.

The interior design looks very up market and the driver facing center console is back!

The car will be equipped with either a 3.0 liter turbo (not twin turbo) inline-6 producing 300hp or a 4.4 liter twin turbo V-8 producing 400hp. Both will be available with either a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmission.

What do you think?

I can't wait for the eventual M5 (rumored to be a 5.0 liter twin turbo V-8 making over 570hp!)
