Anyhow, the G30 is very cleanly styled so I'm not sure what else BMW can do with it but go in a new direction. The 5-series has lost a lot of relevance unfortunately. The 3er has grown in size, X5 has become more popular, 8-series is better looking, and the 5er lost all the sportiness it possessed during the days of the E39 and E60.

Nice car but it doesn't really have a place in the market anymore.
it's baby 7 these days, definitely not really a driver machine's allure these days (speaking as a G30 540 owner...)

though sales figure is pretty comparable at least to main rival so I suppose BMW would conclude that's the right thing to do...
