It’s official: after months of spy photos, BMW has released official photos of the new 2011 5 Series body style.  More athletic and masculine, in keeping with the new 7 Series look.  It’s actually built on a modified 7 Series chassis, as a matter of fact.  Word is that it will drive a bit more like the 7 Series, which we’ve already discovered with the exciting new 550 Gran Turismo that just arrived on our lot this weekend.  (More on that one shortly.)  It will be a few months yet before we know precisely when the 2011 5 Series hits the pavement in Fort Wayne, but our guess is April for rear-wheel and early fall for xDrive.  For now, you’ll have to settle for a few pics.
