2009 BMW PAS Spy shots

BMW is working on a new model that will be placed between the 5 Series wagon and the 2009 X6 SUV. As you know by now for sure, this new model is the Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS) that will be launched in 2009.

The PAS is based on the new BMW 5 Series platform and will be powered by a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine delivering 272 horsepower, and possibly a future direct-injection V8 delivering 420 hp.

Compared to the 5-Series it will feature a higher driving position, more passenger space and a much bigger boot, accessed by a large hatchback.
