Rendered Speculation: BMW 5 Series PAS

kinan_sleiman2006 · 12-09-2008, 05:25 AM

Today we see a new rendering for the BMW Progressive Activity Sedan or PAS as it is currently known. Spy pictures of the PAS have time and time again cropped up, with its design cues pointing in several directions. According to BMW Chairman Norbert Reithofer, PAS will boast class-leading interior and luggage space, extending legroom substantially for all passengers. What class you ask?

It would seem the vehicle, based on the 5 Series platform, will be bigger, higher, and longer, featuring that fast-back rear end of the X6. Being the first of a possible V Series range for BMW, the PAS is more about practicality inside than what the exterior can do. As a result, we can imagine a slew of innovations that offer space optimization solutions as well as infotainment toys galore. The PAS is expected to debut as a 2010 model.

The normal BMW range of diesel and petrol engines will apply, maybe also giving hybrid power another entry into BMW. BMW's wisdom in entering/ creating yet another niche product during such economic times will be questioned. But if the Bavarians are providing solutions to everyday transport problems, they may still keep their lead in the premium sector.

bavarian19 · 12-10-2008, 06:52 AM

What is with all of these badly designed cars coming out?

X6, Panamera, this thing...

Can we just come out with a decent design on your standard cars please...

watrob · 12-10-2008, 07:15 AM

Another reason why not to buy a 5 series!

you guys know what these renderings are right? pure speculation.

NewSong · 12-10-2008, 01:13 PM

Man that's ugly. Whoever "speculated" that should "speculate" about his career in automotive design.

kinan_sleiman2006 · 12-10-2008, 05:36 PM

you guys post smell balls!!!!!!!

Crimson92 · 12-10-2008, 06:02 PM

why sooo many damn suvs coming out of bmw

TK-421 · 12-10-2008, 08:16 PM

I guess it doesn't look too bad for a wagon...

KCE90M3 · 12-15-2008, 02:40 AM

eek....never figured out why one would buy a wagon....I know the stock answer is "to not have to buy an SUV and have alot of cargo space at the same time" but personally I'd spend the extra gas money. An X5 has lots more curb appeal than that.
