BMW 5-Series: Live PistonHeads Reveal

See the reveal of BMW's new saloon at 7pm

---

These are the first official pictures of the all-new BMW 5-series, which you can see revealed 'live' on PistonHeads this evening.

The online event is scheduled for 7pm GMT tonight (8pm Central European Time), and the video feed will be viewable in the forum thread below this article.

As you can see from the teasers pics revealed in advance of the big event, the new 5's nose has more than a hint of the latest 7-series about it. In fact the new model is reportedly based on the same cut-down version of the 7-series platform that underpins the new BMW 5-series GT.

Of more interest to PHers perhaps, will be the news that BMW is already well advanced on the next M5 - which will apparently get a version of the twin-turbo V8 from the X6M.
