www.edmunds.com After driving the 2007 BMW 335i and 2008 Infiniti G37 Sport, we wonder if the people who built them thought about anything besides going fast. Between the twin turbochargers nesting on the 335i’s inline six-cylinder and the large-displacement V6 that gives the G37 its name, we’re waist-deep in a level of engine might that recalls an E46 BMW M3 — and we’ve scarcely passed the 000 price barrier.

MORE ABOUT THE NEW BMW V-SERIES: www.edmunds.com So what exactly is the 2010 BMW V Series? Well, take the nearly indescribable X6 pseudo SUV, chop the roof down a little, add a few inches to the wheelbase and stuff the interior full of all the latest technology BMW has to offer. Still don’t understand what BMW is going for here? You’re not alone. The story goes that after seeing the lukewarm reception to the Mercedes-Benz R-Class, BMW backed away from building a similar people mover of its own. But instead of ditching the idea altogether, BMW refined the concept a little, and the prototype you see here is the result. Like the X6, the V Series is expected to have seating for four. The big difference will be how much room the passengers in the backseat will enjoy. In the X6 it’s a tight fit; in the V Series it will be spacious. A high roof line and hatchback rear end are the reasons. Together they give the V Series a unique look that could make or break this unusual sedan. As big as it looks, the V Series is expected to ride on the next-generation 5 Series platform, so expect a wheelbase of about 115 inches. It doesn’t appear much wider than BMW’s current sedans, and although the roof is obviously higher than a 5 Series, it’s still considerably lower than the X6. Given the size of the V Series and its position between the 5 and 7 Series sedans, we expect to see a V8 engine as the standard power plant. The new twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 used in the X6 is a good bet. Then again …
