BMW is currently developing two new models based on its next-gen 3 and 5-series sedans that will take the luxury brand into new territory.

The new models are best described as MPV-wagons, but unlike the current Touring models the new cars will feature a tall ride-height and high roof profile to maximize interior space.The model based on the 5-series, which will be called V5, is due to arrive towards the end of the decade. If successful, BMW will then release a smaller version, dubbed V3, based on the next-gen 3-series.BMW will be stressing the carĂ¢€™s coupe characteristics just as it did with the X6
