new 2010 BMW 5-Series F10

"New BMW 5 F10 on grafikill» BMW in the back of the sixth-generation F10 entered the global market in March 2010. The creators of the car, presented a novelty, given him four concise adjectives: elegant, safe, dynamic and successful.
For BMW 5-Series 2010 are back strong, classic lines of the brand - some "fussy" design, which is often criticized for a generation, it was decided to leave in the past. We can say that the new "five" BMW inherited traits E39, adding to them a little sport and aggression. Thus Bavarians, led by designer Adrian van Hooydonk model, intend to return the old brand fans, dissatisfied "frivolous" changes.
The power equipment of the new 2010 BMW 5-Series F10 includes a range of engines, consisting of four petrol and three diesel engines.
Top-end engine in the line - it trubirovannaya V-shaped "eight", giving out 407 hp The remaining six-cylinder petrol engines, in-line arrangement. It's 258 - and 204-horsepower engine and a turbocharged 306 hp power unit Diesel engines in the new BMW 5-Series F10 issue 184, 204 and 245 hp power. The most economical of the engine, 184-horsepower diesel for every 100 km of driving consumes 5.2 liters of fuel.
As transmission in the new BMW 5 Series stands eight-gun. Prices for car in Russia range from 1,765,000 to 3,240,000 rubles.

That's where the designers really hit the mark, it's when you create the profile. Overall image is on "excellent." Upper edge of the side - it's just a fairy tale. It clearly strung on all the details, allowing you to create a whole image. For myself, it can be noted that the implementation of such a design solution need a very strong technical base. Lower edge, by the way, also looks good, gradually moving to the rear bumper. And here all waiting for a surprise - the rear lights of the "Seven." This part of the car will be fiercely debated, constantly maintaining a comparison to the previous generation. Of course, if desired, can be compared with counterparts from the third series, and sometimes even with a fairly similar in the image model Infiniti.

In general, the car is going to be very interesting. All will be looking forward to seeing it with your own eyes, because he, like the "seven", is the immediate future of the brand. It will be recalled that the first four generations of the fifth series BMW went through the world with a circulation of 5.5 million copies. Now it's time for a new model. Represent its plan in February next year, and it will go on sale later - around March. So the wait is very long.
