http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/01/bmw5_trg.jpg (http://globalmotors.net/spotted-2010-bmw-5-series-touring/)Who needs a 5-Series PAS (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/31/report-bmw-green-lights-5-series-progressive-activity-sedan/) when you've got one of these? The next BMW 5-Series Touring is out testing, and despite the fact that it looks as long as a football field and it's buried under cladding, it doesn't look awkward or ungainly - something that cannot exactly be said for the coming Mercedes E-Class wagon (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/28/spy-shots-e-class-wagon/).

The BMW wagon isn't expected to debut until the latter portion of 2010, but there are hints that the car will get the 400 hp, twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 - perhaps for an M Touring assault on Mercedes' E63 AMG wagon? The family carrier is also hinted to offer turbodiesels and three transmission options: 8-speed automatic, 7-speed DKG, and 6-speed manual.
