Totally redesigned. It looks a lot more like the new 7 series.

> The 2011 BMW 5 Series is finally here. If nothing else, it's a statement against the Bangle-ization of the BMW brand. It's smooth, sleek and an unmistakable return to the BMW 5 Series we've missed.

I like the new direction the design of BMW is going now. I love the body lines in their new vehicles. They also seem to feel more driver oriented, like the E36 was.

I see [Google.com](http://Google.com) on the screen on the dash…interesting.

The car reminds me a lot of a 3 Series, I wonder if a coupe will be made?

When I activated my BMW assist, they offer you a program for your iDrive, which I believe is powered by Google. I didn’t pay the extra couple of hundred dollars a year for that additional service. It’s for sending maps and information to your vehicle on the 2nd gen idrives. Here’s some info on it:
