In another thread here about this car, I posted that the latest info calls for the 5 series to have toned down its exciting design we saw in the first photos and scetches. And I think it is obvbious by this, nearly finished, car.
Autospies say:
"This more conservative 5, is the result of the mixed reactions of the current 7-series design. BMW couldn’t afford to screw this one up as it’s one of their “bread and butter” vehicles. You can see from the camouflage on the front lights hiding the large LED lighting strip above the headlights."
