Avevo già visto questo modello, credo su Gente Motori di una decina d'anni fa, dove la stavano ancora testando.

Poi su uno speciale di EVO lessi che la motivazione era quella tecnica del suo mancato arrivo sul mercato

Il tecnico era superabile, dall'utilizzo di un nuovo gruppo molla-ammo al posteriore.

Piccolo OT

Questo era il retrotreno della E39 Touring

Questo quello della E39 berlina.

Se avessero voluto togliere le autolivellanti al posteriori e messe le molle coassiali con gli ammo, togliendo la piastra di rinvio che ancora l'ammo in quella posizione si sarebbe potuto creare un "gemello" del ponte posteriore della berlina senza tanti problemi. Il bagagliaio dietro veniva leggermente più stretto però.

The very first prototypes of the seventh-generation BMW 5-serieshave hit the road in Germany ahead of a planned arrival in UK showrooms by early 2016.Clothed in the same body as today’s model, the new 5-series prototype caught here doesn’t provide many clues to the appearance of the new model, which has been styled under the guise of BMW design boss Karim Habib.

However, an evolutionary approach looks set to keep it close to its predecessor in size. The new 5-series will be about 4910mm long, 1875mm wide and 1470mm tall. As with today’s 5-series, the new model will be sold in three body styles: saloon, Touring and Gran Turismo liftback.

The new BMW has been conceived around a lightly modified version of the high-strength steel monocoque platform structure used by the existing 5-series.

But in a programme that will affect all future BMW models, engineers are planning measures that will enable the new car to shed up to 100kg. Insiders say that the move will allow the entry-level 520i to weigh less than 1500kg.

Among the changes set to be implemented are aluminium bulkhead elements and a greater percentage of tailored blanks (high-strength steel in varying thickness) throughout the floorpan. Other weight-saving measures are being considered, including the use of carbonfibre in non-load-bearing elements such as the bonnet, roof and bootlid.

BMW is planning to give the forthcoming 5-series a new generation of turbocharged four-cylinder and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines in a move that, sources suggest, will bring average fuel savings of up to 10 per cent across the line-up.

The new modular units share a common architecture with the BMW’s upcoming three-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, with individual cylinder capacities of 500cc.

BMW is yet to commit to V8 petrol engines for the new 5-series. However, plans for a series of plug-in hybrid models using technology sourced from its technical partnership with Toyota are already well advanced, according to Munich-based sources.

Sulla solita stradina

[h=2]a 150 hp turbodiesel[/h] german media is reporting the next generation of the bmw 5-series will be offered with a three-cylinder engine.

Bmw fans are in for a huge surprise as it seems the next-gen 5-series due in 2016 will be offered with a small 3-cylinder turbodiesel producing 150 hp (110 kw). In this configuration the new 5-series will have a fuel consumption of just 3.9 liters / 100 km (60 mpg us or 72 mpg uk).

The new 5-series will go on sale as a sedan in july 2016 and several months later in november the touring will hit the market. Sometime in 2017 the bavarian marque will introduce the much criticized gran turismo derivative.

As you would imagine, the next generation of the bmw 5-series will ride on a newly developed platform which will be introduced on the 7-series programmed for a 2015 launch and will eventually underpin the next-gen 6-series as well.

As far as the next m5 is concerned, auto bild mentions it will surpass the 600 hp (441 kw) mark and will be the first m model to be offered with an optional all-wheel drive
