With its official unveil just a week away, the new 2011 BMW 5 Series has been caught testing with considerably less camouflage.

Does it look like a slightly smaller 7 Series as we expected? Pretty much.

The lights up front appear nearly identical and the rear end has similarly shaped taillights.

As we noted before it does feature a strong character line along the side similar to the 3 Series so it�s not all hand me downs from the seven.

Expect the usual lineup of six � and eight- cylinder engines and maybe even a hybrid this time around.

Although it will be introduced shortly, sales aren�t expected in the U.S. until late next year.
