facelifted 5 pics...

They might modify those back lights. I'm not seeing much though. The 5er is already a great looking car, why change it?

Its not facelifted photos. Its a testing of the upcoming turbo version.

That is not the face lift. That's just BMW testing their new 3.5 turbo engine.

Is that an actual five or a disguised 3er with a 5 body. ????

It's a 5er and BMw has decided to use the model to test the new engine.

Yeah and people shouldn't believe all the stuff said on some webpages. There are magazines out there who a really stupid they see a chop and say "Scoop this is the new Audi TT". Some magazines usually don't know much more than what we know.

The 5er's shown here are mainly test beds for BMW's upcoming powerplants such as the NG six cylinder turbo that will make it's debut first in the 335i Coupe (E92) this Winter.
It is a fantastic sounding engine , loud and overall very smooth the way it pulls the car is very impressive and the acceleration shows , no sign of any slugglishness. It is seen as a stop gap until the M3 arrives which gets better, lighter and faster . The M3 will be more individual than the 335i you can be sure of that.

The larger intake is for better cooling , The inline six cylinder turbo will also find it's way into the 1er ,3er sedan,Touring and Cabrio , Z4 Coupe and the 5er and eventually other models.

The 5er will get a facelift in the future but will be similar to how BMW facelifted the E39 - Just a slight Tweak because of the M5.
