Just as I finally got used to the styling of the current 5 Series, BMW is readying the redesigned 2011 model. I saw the car in person last week at BMW's U.S. launch at a New Jersey race track.
It looked very proportional, though more conservative than the outgoing model. We previously tested two of the current-generation 5ers, and it was among the most liked luxury sports sedans with our readers, according to Consumer Reports' last owner-satisfaction survey.
For BMW it represents 20 percent of the sales and 40 percent of the profit. Clearly, this is an important car for BMW to get right.
