Driving on an alpine route near Kitzbuhel in Austria we spotted the next generation BMW 5 Series out testing. The disguised car was parked at the side of the road while the two engineers inside sat checking their laptops. Although disguised it's possible to see the overall shape of the new 5 Series, its front the most dramatic change over the outgoing car. With an extended kidney grille and headlamps (which are certain to feature BMW's now signature eyebrows) sweeping around the front wings the 5's face looks to resemble its Z4 and 7 Series relatives the closest, the bonnet in particular looking similar to the multi-contoured item that features on BMW's latest Z4 Roadster.
The rest of the styling isn't quite so dramatic, with the 5 Series looking like a large 3 Series in profile. The rear loses the raised boot lid of the existing car, but the bold rear lights remain and dominate the rear styling. Under the skin the new 5 is likely to feature an engine and transmission line-up largely similar to its recently introduced 5 Series Gran Turismo relative, with a lot of emphasis on BMW's emissions and fuel saving EfficientDynamics technology.
Expected to be on sale in 2010 the new 5 Series should debut at a motor show soon, with LA, Detroit and Geneva all possibilities for the new model reveal. M car fans will have to wait though, the flagship performance machine (which is anticipated to bin the naturally aspirated V10 for an updated version of the turbocharged 547bhp 4.4-litre V8 that features in the X5/X6 M models) is not due to reach showrooms until 2011.
Domāju, ka pavisam drīz jau jābūt infai un reālām bildēm ar jauno 5er. Tā vismaz lika noprast viens kungs no BMW nordic. Ja nemaldos, tieši šodien viņš viņu redzēs dzīvē vai arī bildēs.
p.s Ir jau izbraukts ar jauno 5er. Tieši ne 5er, bet GT, bet tas pats jau vien, cik runā
BMW M3 ir vilks jēra ādā, ar kura veiktspēju vajadzētu pietikt ikvienam ātras braukšanas un svilstošas gumijas smakas cienītājam. Bet ko darīt, ja gribas vēl spēcīgāku vilku tai pašā jēra ādā ar zili baltā propellera emblēmu uz motora pārsega? Viena opcija ir vēršanās pie tūninga uzņēmumiem, kuru Eiropā vien ir tūkstošiem, bet otra - došanās uz Minheni, kur M GmbH speciālisti gatavojot jauno M3 CSL. Runā, ka tam uzstādītais 4 litru V8 atmosfēriskais motors, kurš parastajā M3 attīsta 420 zirgspēkus, esot uzpumpēts līdz 470 zirgspēkiem, bet rūpnīcā noteiktā maksimālā ātruma latiņa pacelta no 250 līdz 300 kilometriem stundā. Protams, tie ir tikai minējumi, bet no otras puses - diezin vai bavārieši vēlēsies pieļaut, ka viņiem nav ko likt pretī gaidāmajam Audi RS5, kura provizoriskā jauda ir 450 zirgspēki.

5. Nov. 09 tulkojums no vacu valodas ar google translator
Since he became CEO in May 2009 is now well past half a year, and BMW X5 BMW M and X6 M have been introduced to new automobiles. Time, therefore, ask for Dr. Kay Segler, where the journey will take at BMW M.
MPW: Dr. Segler, BMW X5 BMW M and X6 M have broken with several dogmas. Turbo, all-wheel or automatic transmission - is this the new M?
Gliders: We must be free of dogma, which I demand of every employee. It was set in the past, a strength of M, in a positive way everything into question.
MPW: Does this mean that BMW M-bye to longtime beliefs?
Gliders: Autos otherwise arise. We clearly define our objectives, derive the product features and then checks to see which technology seems to us to ensure the most appropriate.
MPW: Nevertheless, there are many customers who depend on the very old ways. What can you give to these fans?
Gliders: The fact that you will continue to offer at BMW M fascinating products. And I'm sure, more so than ever. We listen to our customers not only that we act accordingly.
MPW: What does that mean?
Gliders: Currently we are preparing with the BMW M3 GTS in our BMW factory, a car that meets frequently raised customers' needs. This M3 is again sharply. Less weight, more power - including engine capacity increase - and many technical details that were previously at best could get the tuning range. In our complex and highly individual deals are available from the factory.
MPW: What has further extensions of the BMW M3 GTS yet?
Gliders: We have to train and provide adjustable compression damping suspension, the car has a six-piston fixed caliper brake front and four piston rear, the rear silencer is made of titanium. Aerodynamics is adjustable front and rear. For the racing shells, we place at 6-point belts, a bolted roll cage is also fitted as a fire extinguisher.
MPW: A nice package that appeals to many secure.
Gliders: I am convinced. If one or the other detail is not like it then do not worry. What we think of a standard configuration. If necessary, we are sufficiently flexible to respond to special requests. Finally, these vehicles are built at BMW M in the factory - that is, where we have made the BMW M3 GT4.
MPW: Was that the initial impetus for the BMW M3 GTS?
Gliders: Maybe part of it. We know for a long time by fans who want you some more. Many a one would gladly take an even motorsportnäheres model. By car to the track to contest a race and on the road back - that is, with the BMW M3 GTS theoretically possible. If you like, this is the classic sports-club idea. It may, however, like to purchase a collector of this fascinating car.
MPW: Here we come to an important point. Where then is the price, and how can I order the M3 GTS?
Gliders: For the default configuration, the price is 115 000 euros. Any distributor in Germany will lead to customers buying the necessary steps in place. Deliveries begin next spring.
MPW: What will await us beyond at BMW M in the near future?
Gliders: Our motto is "Automobile dreams become reality". With the M3 GTS, we send out a clear signal. The models BMW X5 BMW X6 M and M are fresh in the trade and complete our product line upwards. But first and foremost I want that BMW M is a young and accessible brand. That is why me an offer below the BMW M3 is much more important than a super sports car, which is accessible only for a few. As I have mentioned in other discussions, we are currently reviewing this intensively the opportunities available. I hope the next time you call something can tell you more about it.
