Early Reveal for 2011 BMW 5-Series Touring: First Photos and Details

There's no need to wait for next month's AMI motor show in Leipzig, Germany, to get a look at the new 2011 BMW 5-Series Touring as the first official photos and details of the premium station-wagon were leaked online ahead of its intended debut.
Based on the latest generation 5-series sedan which itself was only just revealed a few months ago, the new Touring model continues to be more about style and handling and less about outright functionality and boot capacity.
That's even more evident when you compare the 5-Series Touring's to the also new, 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate.
