Another 5 Series spy shot,with interior.

This picture was first posted by BoBk in the E55 forum.

Check out the interior shots,they are very similiar to the layout of the 7 series.

It is similiar to that posted by myself about a week ago so you can assume that a lot of the details are correct.

Don't think much to the interior, although may be just pic quality. Not a patch on the E Class interior.

I'm a big fan of the 5 but the trunk and rear lights look funny to me.

Those pics were first posted several days ago.
They're obviously photoshopped, so not sure how much credence to give them.

The external pictures are probably photoshopped but the interior shots certainly are not.

Which is a worry as the interior doesn't look that great.

a lot of people think bimmer cannot have this kind of interior but this is a test car which only haa a basic interior and it is going to be used for a crashing test.

I do not like the rear end either. The front is okay but I'll still take the new E any day. It looks much better IMHO.

Otto,I think you must be joking!!

No car maker is going to spend millions and millions of dollars to design a new car interior for the sole purpose of just using it for crash testing.

Believe it or not, but that is the finished interior!!

Actually, I am growing fond of the radical appraoch that BMW is taking now. By the way, the 5 car will look much nicer than the pics shown. Hopefully, AMG will increase the displacement of the new E55 by the time M5 come out, because it needs all the power it can crank out to compete with this fomidable opponent.

It says the engine is going to be a V8 5.5 lt, not a V10 as it has been rumored.
