2011 BMW 5-Series Touring spy shots

With the 2009 Audi A6 facelift now on sale and the 2010 Mercedes Benz E-Class just arriving in showrooms all around the globe, attention now turns to the next-generation BMW 5-Series. A class leader since its inception, the 5-Series Sedan and Touring wagon remain crucial vehicles in BMW’s lineup and their next-generation models are now just months away.

Last month we saw the reveal of the new 2011 BMW 5-Series Sedan and now we have new spy shots of its Touring wagon sibling. Expected to arrive roughly 12 months after the launch of the Sedan as a 2011 model, the new Touring model is unconfirmed for the U.S. market given the introduction of the 2010 5-Series GT.

Like the 5-Series GT, it will feature a platform shared largely with the new 7-Series. That means lots of space, good handling and plenty of appealing style, inside and out.

Power will come from a 400 horsepower twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 and a 300 horsepower single-turbo 3.0-liter six. A range of four-cylinder gasoline and turbodiesels are also expected to be offered.

Apart from more storage, the 5-Series Touring will be almost identical to the 5-Series Sedan, which you can read about in detail by clicking here.

    Bad stuff?

  2. Hi Guy's,
    Good stuff, should make for an easy (well, easier) photochop for anyone who wants an idea of what this one will look like. Personally, I’ll wait until the F10 sedan itself shows up before I start playing with that (I’m really not that good, I’m just interested in the F10 and I think it would be fun to do…lol)
    But I like what I see here, I liked the styling cues of the 5er GT and I like that this seems to have a lot in common with that one.
