BMW will unveil an all-new 5-Series in March 2009. Featuring a new, evolutionary-design, the upcoming 5-Series will be inspired by the CS Concept, like all future BMW models.

The 2009 5-Series will feature larger grille treatment and greater use of LEDs to give its lighting a more hi-tech and distinguished look.

Under the hood there will be a new range-topping 4.4-litre V8 turbo with direct injection. It uses a similar twin-turbo system to BMW’s existing turbocharged 3.0-litre six for more than 400bhp.

BMW will focus on producing better economy and emissions. This is why the company plans to offer it also with a hybrid engine.
