Also, you gotta remind these mules have heavy cladding applies...underneath it all, the 5er could well have a very curvacious face much like the current one.

Yeah, I know. That why I said that I'm just speculating because we don't have the real car in front of us.

Watching the spy pics, with all the cammo, and reading EnI word on the new E-Class topic, this F10 reminds me my old E39. The overall shape seems to be more rounded, more like old scholl beemers.

So, are we going backwards to the good old days ?
F01 relates to E32 and F10 to E39
What is coming now ?

^ I guess, Mercedes is also going to back to the good old days with the design of the W212 (looking like the W124)

Hello everybody.

This is my first post in this forum.

I'm seeking for my future car in the range of the 5-Series and I'd like to know if there is a certain release date for the car in Europe yet. My intention is to purchase it in 6 to 12 months from now.

Thanks you all.

(Excuse my english; it isn't my mother language)

Early 2010.

Thanks you two.

I hoped something earlier because the test prototypes looked as advenced as de 7's and Mercedes is launching the new E class in the first quarter of 2009, but a longer life for the E60 makes more sense.

I suppose I could give a chance to the F5 then.

I prefer to buy a car in the first half of it's commercial life because I will own it for at least 10 years and will make it look less old to me in future.

Thanks you two.

I have big expectations on this new 5 series. Test prototypes seem to have beautifull proportions. In fact, they do look better to me than the E60 even under the camouflage. But I don't know if it will be enough to make me wait untill 2010.

I hoped it would be here sooner, as the 7 was scheduled as a 2009 model an it's debuting in july. If they would just show us something earlier in 2009 it could make me consider to wait.
