2010 BMW 5-Series pics: scoop mystery?

In what are not new images, our colleagues at Autosblog.fr are describing these pics as the first real preview of the new BMW 5-Series. After some investigation, nothing is conclusive regarding these mysterious shots which were first published by a Scandinavian magazine in October.

They were then reproduced on the Bimmerpost site and described as renderings of the new 5-Series, which is to debut at the 2010 Geneva motor show. It appears, though, that the pictures have since been bought by Car and Driver magazine (according to our French source) and that the bridge in the background is in Lisbon, the same city that hosted the photo shoot for the new BMW 5-Series GT.

So, the guys at Autsoblog.fr are saying that this could be the first look at the BMW 5-Series in what will have been a very quiet scoop before its official presentation next year. Your thoughts?
