2010 BMW 5 Series bumper design leaked

One of our readers sent in a couple of days ago a photo of what it seems to be the front bumper of the next generation 2010 BMW 5 Series, codename F10. It took us a bit to analyze it against the spy photos we have seen in the past and with the help of some friends close to BMW, apparently we have a winner. The bumper design is close if not identical to the production one that will be featured on the 2010 BMW 5 Series and despite the previous rumors that the 5er might sport a front-end inspired from the 7er, I can certainly tell you that this is not the case. One interesting observation is that the BMW roundel will sit on the bumper and not on the hood as it does now. Does it ring a bell? Yes, similar to the new 2009 BMW Z4. I, for one, am happy that the bumper is quite different from the new 7 Series, which I still believe that it has larger than normal "kidneys". Hat tip to Tom!
