PostHeaderIcon Automotive – 2010 BMW 5 Series spyshots

The 2010 BMW 5 Series is due to hit the market early next year and these latest spy shots are a clear, if predictable, indication of what styling changes are on their way.
The front fascia adopts the upright nose, elongated twin-kidney grille and contoured headlamps (Dame Edna be gone!) originally shown on the 2009 7 Series, while the rear takes on a set of similarly styled tail lamps and looses the Bangled rump we’ve come to know and loathe.
The overall effect should tie in well with the recently revealed BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo, and expect similar powertrain options to be available, including the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8, 3.0-liter inline-six and a host of diesel options offered abroad.
Transmission choices will likely include a six-speed manual and an all-new eight-speed gearbox supplied by ZF. And then there’s the 2011 BMW M5 to look forward to.
Expect the next M-fettled 5er to pack the X6 M/X5 M’s tweaked twin-turbo’d eight nestled within a revised chassis sure to use considerable amounts of aluminum and carbon fiber.

It’s obvious that development of the next 5 is well underway, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see it unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September, with the BMW M5 appearing later in 2010.

So after finally hoping on the Facebook-bandwagon, we decided to check up on how Mallory McMorrow’s Mazda3 concept was coming along.
After shaping and molding the clay on the LA show floor for over 10 days, the 2018 Mazda3 was finally displayed. Overall, it’s cues tie in nicely with the “flow” theme crafted by Franz von Holzhausen and his team who helped McMorrow hone her design.
We think it’s a step in the right direction, particularly from an undergrad, and we’re hopeful that the 21-year old industrial design student hits the ground running once she has her degree in hand.
