While celebrating the 5 millionth built 5-Series vehicle, BMW is working on the sixth generation 5-Series which was spied in saloon and estate forms in Germany.<\/p>\n

Under the project code F10, the German carmaker is readying the next 5-Series to take on the other members of the German clique but also Lexus and Infiniti on the American market. With the new model. BMW won\u2019t go into the wild and the car won\u2019t be as radical as the current generation was at its debut. The design is being overseen by BMW\u2019s head designer, Adrian van Hooydonk. The new 5-series will be longer but will still be less than 200\u201d long. In the meantime, engineers focus on weight reduction by using some aluminum in the construction.<\/p>\n

With the next 5-Series, BMW wants to match Mercedes in terms of embedded technologies. The car will feature an eight-speed automatic gearbox like Lexus. The executive saloon will embed, of course, the company\u2019s Efficient Dynamics system.<\/p>\n

The engine range will be similar to the current model\u2019s although it is likely that the next-generation will feature the new V8 that debuted on the X6 crossover.<\/p>\n
