Hamann dresses up the 5-Series GT

Monday, 05. 17. 2010  –  Category: Aftermarket News, Main

I’m still on the fence about these crossover vehicles – I’ve now seen several of the new Honda Accord Crosstours on the road, and have had a distinct feeling of malaise every time.

After a well-orchestrated “first glimpse” campaign, we’re finally seeing the first official press shots of the decadently luxurious interior in BMW’s new 5 Series GT come off of embargo today. While I’m not a big fan of the leather’s color in these photographs (too close to the eggshell walls of the first apartment in college), [...]

More 2010 BMW 5-Series Touring spy shots

Monday, 03. 30. 2009  –  Category: Aftermarket News, Main

Since I’m a total Touring fan, I was excited to see these new 2010 5-Series Touring (F10) spy shots pop up on Globalmotors.net. While still heavily camouflaged, it’s at least no longer burdened with the dead-ugly temporary tail light treatment we saw on a previous test mule. Rumor has it that both wheelbase and track [...]
