Starting from an assumption of homogeneity of matter-energy tensor and Brans-Dicke (BD) scalar field we obtain a Robertson-Walker type of metric form in five-dimensional spacetime with the essential difference that our model is spatially inhomogeneous. The model exhibits an interesting feature in that as we approach the centre of symmetry the compact dimension becomes very large, with the implication that the Kaluza-Klein excitations become very light when located there and that the origin may represent a singular concentration of matter with motion in the extra dimension. Following Wesson the effective 4D properties of matter from the 5D vacuum solutions are also briefly discussed. Assuming particular functional relationships betweenρ andρ as also between the scale factor and scalar field, we obtain exact solutions which may be of relevance to the early universe and its extended inflation in the BD type of theory. We also discuss very briefly rollover time immediately after tunneling to the true vacuum state to explore if dimensionality has any marked influence on the situation.
