Automotive Faqs

The rumor mill has started again and this time it surrounds BMW and the news that it is building a new model for 2009 called the F5. We may only have a small picture of what the new vehicle is to look like, but we should be getting more soon since the product has been finished.

BMW is currently developing two new models based on its 3 and 5-series sedans, which will be taking the luxury brand into new territory. The new models are best described as MPV-wagons, but unlike the current Touring models the new cars will feature a taller ride-height and high roof to maximize interior space. Though the cars’ names are yet to be finalized, earlier reports suggested the new lineup would adopt ‘F’ badging with the two new cars being called the F3 and F5.

This new rendering is a good indication of the final design of the larger F5 variant. Engine options will remain the same as its donor 5-series sedan but don’t expect anything bigger than a six-cylinder to feature.

The expected launch date for the F5 is in mid-2009, with the smaller F3 set to appear one year later. However, before we see any of the F models, BMW will launch its all new X6 crossover due in the second half of next year.
