Spy photographers have spotted a prototype of the upcoming BMW 5-series while out testing in Munich. Set to bow in early 2010, the 6th generation 5-series — codenamed F10 — is being overseen by BMW’s head designer, Adrian van Hooydonk.

The next-generation 5-series is expected to feature an eight-speed automatic transmission with an all-wheel drive option being available. A range of engines will be available in the 5-series and wagon and M5 versions will follow about a year after the car's initial introduction.
The new 5 will also have Park Distance Control and an around view monitor system, similar to Infiniti's Around View Monitor
